Humphrey Bogart & Lauren Bacall – 1945

Actors have hectic lives, and sometimes, the only time they meet other people is on the set. That’s how one of the most famous love stories of the old Hollywood began. Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall met on the locations of the film To Have and Have Not.

Even though Bacall was 25 years his junior, the two had chemistry. During this time, Bogart was married to the actress Mayo Methot, but his love for Bacall made him divorce Methot in the blink of an eye. The Bogart-Bacall couple married at Malabar Farm in Ohio in 1945 and had a prosperous marriage with two children until Bogart’s passing in 1957.

Ingrid Bergman & Petter Lindstrom – 1937

Ingrid Bergman’s first Hollywood movie was Intermezzo: A Love Story, and although her morals in the film led her to call her affair quits, it was not an option in reality. Bergman was married to the Swedish dentist turned neurosurgeon, Petter Lindstrom, when she developed feelings for the director, Roberto Rossellini, during the filming of Stromboli.

Bergman and Rossellini had a child together, which was Lindstrom’s cue for a split. After a 13-year-long marriage, and the birth of a daughter, Lindstrom and Bergman divorced. A few years later, karma caught up to Bergman when Rossellini dumped her for another woman.

Shirley Temple & John Agar – 1945

Shirley Temple was friends with a girl who later became her sister-in-law. The friend had a brother, John Agar, who went as Temple’s plus-one to a party. The rest was history. Temple was only a teenager when the two fell in love and did not waste any time thinking about marrying.

Both of them were actors, and therefore, their wedding ceremony was going to be a grand one. It took place at the Wilshire Methodist Church in Los Angeles on September 19, 1945, with 500 guests witnessing it. Only five years into their marriage, Agar’s addiction to alcohol and the pair’s otherwise busy lives destroyed their marriage.

Judy Garland & Vincente Minnelli – 1945

Frances Ethel Gumm, better known as Judy Garland, was an award-winning actress and singer back in the day. In addition to her screen talents, Garland was known for her many marriages. Vincente Minnelli, a filmmaker, was the second person to put a ring on Garland’s finger.

The two developed a bond on the set of Meet Me in St. Louis and married in 1945. After having a daughter, Liza Minnelli, the couple divorced in 1951. The reasons could have been Garland’s rumored relationship with Sidney Luft, who conveniently became her next husband, and even Minnelli’s personal orientation. However, a definite cause was Garland’s drug addiction.

Bette Davis & William Grant Sherry – 1945

The name Bette Davis was prevalent during the ’30s and ’40s. She was a gorgeous actress, who was also very famous, and that’s why her encounter with William Grant Sherry took an unexpected turn. He was an artist by profession and had no idea who she was, and for some reason, Davis was intrigued by the fact.

Her interest in Sherry resulted in marriage. Their wedding ceremony took place in California, and as presumed, Davis was beautifully dressed in a tweed suit and a hat (even though it was her third wedding). She had her only biological child through this marriage, which lasted five years.

Prince Aly Khan & Rita Hayworth – 1949

Can you believe that Prince Aly Khan, a descendant of Prophet Muhammed, met his second wife at a nightclub? Well, it’s true. His second wife was the famous American actress, who was also identified using the moniker “The Love Goddess,” Rita Hayworth.

After getting married in 1949 at the l’Horizon in France, Hayworth left her successful career behind to live with Prince Aly in Europe. They added a daughter to their family at the end of the same year. During their marriage, Hayworth found proof that her beloved husband was a playboy, and therefore, divorced him. She lived in the US with their daughter following the separation.

Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz – 1944

Love doesn’t always happen at first sight. For instance, for Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, love occurred during their second encounter in 1940. They connected so much that they eloped the same year. You probably know the two as the lead stars on I Love Lucy, who also happen to be on-screen spouses.

Their marital life was far from the fairytale that the on-screen couple had. Arnaz’s alleged infidelities and alcoholism led Ball to file for divorce in 1944. The power couple somehow reconciled and had an official ceremony at Our Lady of the Valley Church in Canoga Park, California, in 1949. Eleven years and two children later, they divorced.
