Nonfictionguy's rating:

When Hollywood actors get married it seems to be just for publicity, money or lust, because it never lasts! We hear all the intimate details of each breakup and divorce settlement in magazines and the newspapers for months afterwards.

But true love isn't fleeting, here is a list (just in time for Valentines Day). It lists just a few of the famous couples who have been married for quite a few years!

I hope it gives other famous actors hope.

Nice idea (which gives some hope for Hollywood as well as marriages in general). Just a suggestion: maybe you want to add the actual wedding date instead of years (unless you want to update this list every year). Also i'd like to suggest to include the following:

Norman Lloyd - Peggy Lloyd, since 29. June 1936
Art Linkletter - Lois Foerster, since 25. November 1935

Would Ronald Reagan fit into your list? I don't know if your criteria would allow him since he wasn't acting anymore at the time.

He was very 'Hollywood' even in his new role - so yes. My only hesitation was the fact his first marriage didn't last. Only just made it past the Seven year itch!

Good post, as long as my man Newman is in there.

They truly are the exceptions on Hollywood. Listening to Bill Cosby's comments on his wife, I always figured she was cringing during his comedy routines.

Danny DeVito & Rhea Perlman must be getting up there too.

Only 22 years and counting for Danny & Rhea, not bad.

And yet so sad that there are only 9 of them to report!

I think a high number of actors that marry for image or publicity has a lot to do with it!

How about Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn? I think they hooked up in the early 80s.

That's his second wife, 27 years and counting.

How About Arnie & Maria Shriver? They Have Been Going Strong (Ooops) Since 1986!

And Steve Buscemi & Joe Andres (Since 1987)!

How About Carl Reiner & Estebelle Lebost? (64 Years)

Mel Brooks & Anne Bancroft were always one of my favorite Hollywood couples - Married from 1964 until Bancroft's death in 2005 - 41 years.
Nice list :)
