Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone were a real life Peter Parker and Gwen Stacey, until last month. Which may still make Andrew Peter Parker.
Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero (in Camelot)
Wasn’t his wife a devout Catholic? I also heard Hepburn didn’t go to his funeral, out of respect for his widow.
I guess it being public knowledge she was his mistress was one thing, but she wasn’t going to flaunt it in front of the wife.
Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft in the 1983 remake of To Be or Not to Be.
Fredric March and his second wife Florence Eldridge were casted as a couple several times on stage and screen.
Charles Laughton and his wife Elsa Lanchester were often in the same movie but not necessarily a couple. Some of them (“The Big Clock”, “Witness for the Prosecution”) have them as antagonists.
Kirk Cameron and Chelsea Noble.
Jill Eikenberry and Michael Tucker, in L.A. Law and about another dozen TV and stage productions.
Tom Cruise and and Nicole Kidman, in Far and Away and Eyes Wide Shut, not being very convincing as a couple in either.
Accidental overdose/substance mixing, not suicide.
Ruby Dee and Ossie Davis were in quite a few films and TV together as a couple (Jungle Fever, Cosby)
Jessica Tandy and Hume Cronyn
Primarily on stage but had some film,radio and television credits: Lynn Fontanne and her husband Alfred Lunt.
I can’t remember if this was a case of Real Life Writes the Plot or the two getting together over the course of the angle, but in the WWE, Steph McMahon and Triple H are married both IRL and in character. (Interestingly, while Triple H is actually involved in running the company both IRL and in character, he’s actually got two different positions.)
Tea Leoni and Tim Daly of Madam Secretary recently revealed that they are dating IRL.
Has anyone mentioned Betty White and Allen Ludden of Password fame? Steve Allen and Jayne Meadows? Jack Benny and Mary Livingston?
Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger in the remake of “The Getaway.”
Same as Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw in the original version.
She had a role in Silent Movie and was an extra in Blazing Saddles as well. They also did stuff like this together.
Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally as Ron and Tammy Swanson in Parks and Recreation.
This thread is going great. From the examples so far, it seems like it was more common in the past.
Good one. I think I forgot to mention them because my mind was focused on 2000’s to today.
I never heard that before. Why would the relationships be fake?
Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara appeared together in, among other things, The King of Queens.
Note: upon verifying this I just learned that Meara died in May of this year. They had been married since 1954.
mmm
Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate in The Fearless Vampire Killers
