[quote] Joan Van Ark and husband John Marshall have been married since 1966 - 59 years.

Jian’s current face has only been married to him for six years.

North and South must have been one helluva set!

Liza and David

[quote]Connie Chung and Maury Povich

R19 I was always a Connie Chung fan and couldn't understand why she would 'stoop' to marrying Maury. Then I saw an interview with the two of them and saw how skewed my perception was. Love 'em both.

[quote]Christopher Walken to Georgianne for 56 years.

R46 Georgianne was the casting director for The Sopranos. They don't have children and Christopher said that while she was occupied during that time, he was happy taking every film he was offered. I imagine them as being a very cool couple.

[quote]Warren Beatty, 88, and Annette Bening, 67

This marriage always reminded me of the Tom Cruise marriages - arranged to further the bride's career - but it actually lasted. Also, the Michael Douglas/ZetaJones marriage served its purpose but held fast.

Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest 41 years

Here’s some couples from the golden age of entertainment.

Cyd Charisse and Tony Martin- 60 years

R89 they were both on Upstairs, Downstairs. They then played the same characters in their own series.

She went on to play Shirley Valentine, for which she was Oscar nominated.

[quote] George Burns was a womanizer?

R64 Yes, he was. Gracie knew about it, but she stayed with George. There was an inside joke that every time Gracie found out about George fooling around, he had to buy her a very expensive gift, so it wasn’t such a bad thing for Gracie.

The linked article suggests she stayed with him because her father had abandoned the family when she was young, and George was taking very good care of Gracie and her career.

Oh, God!

The Bill Cosbys have been happily married since 1964.

Dottie and Jerry Sandusky have been married since 1966!

[quote]guess it's easy to stay married when the wife is used to looking the other way!

Which is why Melania and TACO have been married so long.

[quote]Barbra Streisand and James Brolin

They were both so old when they met that this would be a last marriage if it continued over three years.

[quote]The Bill Cosbys

Jesus, are you dialing in from 1960, R100?
