Favorite Golden Era Couples

[rue]

Jack Benny and Mary Livingstone

Even with all their marital problems, he loved her so much that he arranged to have a single red rose delivered to her every day after his death until she died.

 

[WH1]

The Duke of Windsor and "that American woman".

 

[WH1]

Not really a couple but any of the Happy Valley crew especially Lord Delamere would have been interesting for a weekend, or so they say.

 

[Edward]

Another vote for Bogie and Bacall. I've never seen anything even close to the screen chemistry they had in The Big Sleep (not even Bogie and Bergman is Casablanca, though I suppose that was a very different relationship being portrayed...).

The Duke of Windsor and "that American woman".

lol I wondered if they'd come up. Just goes to show that while they were bad people, all Nazis dressed sharp.

In the felonious category (with Pretty Boy and wife).

 

[Travis Lee Johnston]

Bonnie and Clyde were never successful criminals according to the books written about them. And as John Dillinger said, "Just a couple of kids stealing grocery money".

Can't forget these two.

 

[LizzieMaine]

Sinclair Lewis and Dorothy Thompson -- he was a Nobel-winning novelist, she was the most influential woman in America (after Mrs Roosevelt, at least). The marriage wasn't big enough for both of them.
