I was surprised to learn that Suzanne Pleshette and Tom Poston are married (and I’m reasonably sure I misspelled both their names in this post). ---

[QUOTE=Otto] I was surprised to learn that Suzanne Pleshette and Tom Poston are married (and I’m reasonably sure I misspelled both their names in this post). [/QUOTE] Their marriage is quite recent, as they’ve known each other for years. Miss Depesto and the great character actor whose name I forget but he died not so long ago, Vincent Somebody Very Italian, were married for a few years. Julie Andrews has been married to Blake Edwards for a very long time. That always surprises me. Ric Ocasek (cars) has been married for 20 years to Paulina Porzikova. ---

Jesse Spencer (Dr Chase, the Australian) and Jennifer Morrison (Dr Cameron, the whiney one) on _House_ recently got married. It surprised me because even though they got some kind of friends with benefits thing going on in the show, they have zero chemistry on screen. ---

Unfortunately, Paul Adelstein (the ever delightful Agent Kellerman on _Prison Break_) apparently chose not to wait for me, but instead married Liza Weil (Paris Geller on _Gilmore Girls_). ---

[QUOTE=MaxTheVool] I was very surprised when I first learned that Allyson Hannigan and Alexis Denisof were married… [/QUOTE] Wow, I didn’t know that. Alexis Bleidel (who plays Rory in the show “Gilmore girls”) is in a real-life relationship with her boyfriend in the series, “Jess” played by [Milo Ventemiglia](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0893257/). And then there’s [Rhea Perlman](http://www.infoplease.com/ipea/A0154881.html) (bitchy waitress Carla from Cheers) who has been married to Danny de Vito forever. I was very surprised when I first heard that, but on second thought I think they [fit](http://www.lacoctelera.com/myfiles/quefuede/Rhea%20Perlman02.jpg) very well together. ---

Remember “L.A. Law?” I can’t remember what either actors names were, but during the first season, a major ongoing storyline was that the bombshell, dynamic, powerful female court attorney fell in love & married the short, nebishy male reference librarian in the firm. Of course all the TV critics lambasted the storyline as utterly ridiculous, unbelievable, even misogynist (“why would a successful woman _need_ to stoop to such a drab doorknob’s level?”, or something like that.) Then the actors revealed they were married IRL, and had been for several years. And all the critics fell silent… ---
