You have the makings of a Hollywood movie there.

I would have loved to have been their house guest at Ten Chimneys.

Count me in

Dick Powell and Joan Blondell.

Just imagine their wedding: Frank McHugh as best man, Glenda Farrell as maid of honor, Ruby Keeler, Ginger Rogers, and Una Merkel as bridesmaids, Guy Kibbee giving the bride away, and Hugh Herbert performs the ceremony. "I now pronounce you man and wife. Woo woo woo woo!" And outside the church, Warren William wrings his hands in bitter frustration.

Gertrude Stein and Alice B Toklas*

*hashish brownie jokes are low-hanging fruit

 

[dhermann1]

Tex and Jinx! The king and queen of very early TV. If you want to get a good look at Jinx Falkenberg, one of the very very first supermodels, see the opening scenes of Rita Hayworth's 1944 movie, "Cover Girl".
Another favorite English literary couple, Harold Nicolson and Vita Sackville-West.

 

[Miss Golightly]

Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward

 

[LizzieMaine]

Phil Harris and Alice Faye, one of the most successful of Hollywood marriages.

Rita Hayworth and the Aly Khan. Somewhat less successful.

Barbara Hutton, Cary Grant, and assorted minor European noblemen. And they're not from the ten-cent store.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Sabu & "Kala Nag" the elephant. It was platonic, but touching.
