Makes me sad that I’ve become so cynical. Well, to drive it home even more – he’d been divorced for something like two years before he married Carpenter (2006 vs. the end of 2008). So while he may have cheated, it probably wasn’t with Carpenter. ---

Didn’t Siddig El Fadil and Nana Visitor have a baby, marry, and then divorce (in that order) during the run of _Deep Space Nine_? ---

John Cleese divorced Connie Booth after the first season of Fawlty Towers but they worked together on season 2 after the divorce. First season was 75, 2nd was in 79. I think their divorce was in 78. ---

Whatever height she is, she made me laugh so hard I cried during the dressing room scene in _White Chicks_. Hi, I’m cellulite Sally! Look at my huge badonka! ---

Makes me sad that I’ve become so cynical. The only showmance (romance started when the two were acting in the same project) I can think of that lasted is Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. Didn’t they meet on the set of _The Long Hot Summer_? When I was a teenager, I fancied myself in love with every guy I kissed, but shouldn’t people grow out of that phase? ---

So while he may have cheated, it probably wasn’t with Carpenter. I thought they started dating while he was still married, but it seems I was mistaken. Back when he divorced his wife, I had a really different impression. But lately I’ve been really cynical and snarky about Hollywood relationships.
