Hard to believe, but there were famous screen couples and famous divorces before Brad and Angelina.
Can you identify these two? Some clues:
— She was the second of his five wives.
— Their marriage lasted four years, from 1959 to 1963.
— She called him “bullito” (little bull).
— He described her as “beautiful but a tiger.”
— She was nominated for an Oscar while he won his.
— He was the second of her two husbands.
— He was of Italian stock while she was born in Mexico.
— Frank Sinatra tried unsuccessfully to put the make on her.
— The two had really nasty fights in public. She conceded that she was born with “a terrible temper.”
— Nonethelesss she was distraught at the breakup of their marriage.
Ok, who are these people?
Ernest Borgnine and Katy Jurado?
The couples identity already noted, I want to comment on your tongue in cheek line about there being other famous couples before those of today. On local television, the entertainment reporter said upon the passing of Lauren Bacall that she and Bogie were Hollywood’s first super couple. I think Doug and Mary might have had something to say about that. Honestly, the idea of history to some people is downright silly.
