[QUOTE=stargazer] Also, Kenneth Branagh and Emma Thompson (Much Ado About Nothing). [/QUOTE] I believe Branagh and Thompson were a couple before they ever made a movie together, and they made “Henry V” before “Much Ado”. They may have met when doing a play together, though. ---

Brendan Fehr and Majandra Delfino met on the set of **Roswell** and played on screen couple Micheal Guerin & Maria De Luca. Theyve since split up though. ---

[QUOTE=Eve] Nope–never made a movie together and never married. [/QUOTE] Okay- I’ll concede they didn’t make a movie together. But I thought the other criteria was “hooked up”- I didn’t take that to mean married. Substitute Greta Garbo and John Gilbert ---
