One of the most famous couples America of the 50s is a cult actress and famous baseball player. In 1954, the lovers got married and seriously planned to become an exemplary family. The fatal blonde with might and main assured that she wanted to give birth to Joe kids and become a completely domestic woman. However, in the understanding of Marilyn, this did not include leaving Hollywood. Of course, the hot Italian husband did not like this, and even the status of the missus' sex symbol acted on him like a red rag on a bull. Jealousy won over love, and after only 2 years of marriage, the couple broke up.

However, the warmest feelings between the former spouses still remained - all their lives they kept in touch and helped each other. Moreover, it was DiMaggio who prepared Monroe's funeral, and for many years, fresh flowers appeared on the actress's grave as a sign of love and respect from her former lover.

This love story began quite pragmatically - presidential candidate John F. Kennedy needed a profitable match and found it in the person of the respectable and educated Jacqueline Bouvier. The wedding took place in 1953 - the couple looked perfect, but their happiness was mostly a PR fiction. Kennedy was not particularly serious about the oath of allegiance to his wife and started romances left and right, while the faithful Jacqueline endured all his adventures and remained close during severe attacks and operations that John suffered due to his serious problems with the spine.

In the late 50s, Jackie's patience snapped and she decided to file for divorce. Her father-in-law and former diplomat Joe Kennedy persuaded her to save the marriage. The couple stayed together, and for some time peace and love really reigned in their family - John began to appreciate his wife, and she allowed their relationship to start from a new leaf.

But the idyll was not destined to last b Xia for a long time - November 22, 1963 in Dallas, a shot killed Kennedy and at the same time completed the story of their relationship with Jacqueline.

The witnesses of that tragic event especially remembered the gesture of the faithful wife, who decided not to change her blood-splattered suit, so that the whole world could see not only her pain, but also the horror of the crime committed by the murderer.

Although Birkin did not become the first love of the French chanson star Serge Gainsbourg, she definitely left a serious mark on his life and work. The couple met in 1968 on the set of the film "Slogan".

This romance can rightly be called official - it flared up on the set of the film "Flames over England", where Lee and Olivier played lovers. Despite the fact that both actors were married, they decided to give a damn and start living together. The couple decided the divorce formalities with their other halves only a few years later, and only after that they were able to register their relationship.

Destroyed this great story both sides -Lawrence was tormented by envy of the success of his beloved, and Vivienne began to experience an exacerbation of manic-depressive psychosis, which eventually broke her life and put an end to her passionate relationship with Olivier.

The actor quickly came to his senses, married a year later and lived happily for 30 years, but Lee died only 7 years later from tuberculosis and remained single until the end of her life.

The fatal blonde of our time and her famous husband met in 1968 at the film set of the Warner Brothers studio. The novel flared up quickly - in the same year the couple got married. The couple stayed together for 7 years.

They broke up through the fault of Penn - he was never famous for his exemplary behavior, but in those days he completely beat all records: he regularly got drunk, was wildly jealous of his wife and often beat her. Once he was completely carried away - the badly beaten singer even filed a complaint with the police. A little later, she really took him away, saying that she wished Sean all the best, if only he was away from her.

Nevertheless, Madonna's feelings were strong - later she repeatedly admitted that it was Penn who was her greatest love. In 1996, she invited the actor to attend her birth, and after that she regularly appeared with him at events and was extremely flattered when Sean visited and approved one of her performances. However, the couple could not forgive each other until the end, and their reunion remained only in the dreams of fans.

6. Romy Schneider and Alain Delon

Another office romance, which, moreover, began with mutual hatred - having met at film set the film "Christina", the impulsive Delon and the refined Schneider immediately disliked each other. But a few months later, Romy moved from Australia to Paris to Alain, and a couple of months later their engagement was announced. The wedding, however, never took place - after some time, Delon was seen by the paparazzi with a certain blonde, a little later he left Romy, and he married this blonde. Schneider, on the other hand, remained at the bottom.

Dealing with grief, she got married and forgot to think about Delon, until fate brought them together again on the set of the film "Pool". As it turned out, fate was here and Moreover, the role for Romy was procured by the actor himself. Passion flared up new force, her husband left Schneider, and soon Delon himself fled, again leaving the actress alone with herself and her pain.

Romy's suffering spilled over into a passion for alcohol, and in 1981 another blow awaited her - her 14-year-old son suddenly died. Soon the actress herself died of a broken heart.

Delon took the death of his ex-lover as his fault - he wrote about this in a letter published in one of the newspapers: “It was because of me that your heart stopped beating. Because of me, because 25 years ago I was made your partner at Christina.

The actress who drove the great performer crazy was named Ava Gardner, and she acted in some magical way on men. They were immediately ready for anything, if only this beauty paid attention to them.

Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner

Before meeting Sinatra, Ava had already been married twice and had a crazy affair with multimillionaire Howard Hughes. Howard threw airplanes, diamonds, luxurious outfits at the feet of the wayward beauty, but she only accepted the gifts with cold politeness, keeping the fan at a distance. By the way, Frank himself, who also had a wife and three children, did not consider the presence of a family an obstacle to love affairs. The fateful meeting took place in 1950 at the premiere of the film "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes." After that evening, Sinatra walked not on his own, he suffered, suffered and went crazy with love and jealousy. He could not shower the object of his passion with expensive gifts, so he relied only on his charm, which, alas, did not always work. As a result, Sinatra wrote his greatest hits and eventually won the location of the actress. Two southern temperaments came together, and feelings poured into the energy of true love and passion, which was impossible to resist.

At first, the lovers met secretly, because Sinatra was still not free. Then Ava flew to Spain, where she had an affair with a bullfighter, and Frank, who found out about this, almost died of grief. The actress took pity on him, promising to return, but then fell into the arms of Richard Greene. The performer was pumped up with sleeping pills, and only a miracle saved him. Ava finally gave in and agreed to marry him. The ceremony took place in Philadelphia, and the couple enjoyed quiet family happiness for a couple of years. But then they begin to torment each other with jealousy, and in 1957, after a stormy showdown, they file for divorce. Frank claimed that after Ava he had many women, but none could give him the feelings that he experienced with his muse.

This is perhaps the most famous misalliance in history, when, for the sake of his beloved woman, the English monarch Edward VIII voluntarily abdicated. The envious vied with each other to discuss the fact that the king of England suddenly inflamed with passion for a twice-divorced American. This was not only strange, but also unreasonable, in the opinion of many Englishmen. The inhabitants of Britain were sure that a kind of end of the world had come and the collapse of the moral and ethical norms and foundations of secular society.

Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII of England

The 36-year-old monarch met Mrs. Wallis Simpson in early November 1930 at a dinner party. At the same time, as historians recall, the prince fell in love with a married lady at first sight, although she was far from beautiful and did not have any outstanding talents. However, you can’t command the heart, and soon the prince achieved her location. The lovers were not embarrassed by either the status of Wallis, or the censure of the public, or the boycott royal family, who hoped that the monarch would soon play enough and find a worthy passion. But it was not there!

In January 1936, when the English King George V died, Edward came to the throne, and Wallis immediately decided to officially divorce her lawful spouse. At the same time, neither Parliament nor members of the royal family even wanted to hear about this divorced American suddenly becoming the wife of a monarch. So poor Edward had to make a choice between the English throne and his feelings. It was obvious to many that he would choose the title and the crown. But, alas, Edward decided to leave everything for the sake of his beloved woman.

On December 10, 1936, Edward VIII publicly abdicated, delivering his famous speech, and then devoted himself entirely to family life. The couple lived very happy life and traveled extensively until the monarch died of cancer in 1972.

Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier

And although there was no great love in this union, the story of the Hollywood actress and the Prince of Monaco has truly become a legend.

Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier

One of Alfred Hitchcock's most adored actresses, Grace was distinguished by her Nordic appearance and restrained manner, so it felt like she was not a Hollywood celebrity, but a real princess. However, despite the external coldness, the star was very amorous and passionate and could easily spin a light affair right on the set with the cameraman or accept beautiful courtship from the Iranian Shah. In Hollywood, it was believed that Miss High Society, as the actress with an angelic appearance was called, was worthy of being the wife of only a real prince. As a result, it happened, and soon Grace was married to Prince Rainier III of Monaco.

It is worth noting that the acquaintance, which took place in 1955, changed the lives of not only young people, but the whole state. The prince has long been looking for a worthy wife, so marrying a famous Hollywood beauty with a good reputation helped attract investment and arouse the interest of tourists in the ruined Monaco. Renier figured that the wedding with the Oscar-winning Hollywood actress would be a successful PR stunt, and the luxurious ceremony, held in 1956, revived interest in Monaco and turned this region into one of the most prestigious on the planet. The country loved its new princess, and Grace gave the state not only the long-awaited heirs, but also new economic opportunities.

Rainier's wife bathed in attention, changed couturier outfits, starred for glossy publications and visited other countries with official visits. However, while millions of people dreamed of being in the same fairy tale, Grace suffered from the difficult nature of her husband, and secular duties were real hard labor for her. Soon the actress had health problems, she began to gain weight, and her grown children began to run away from home, refuse secular duties and have affairs with bodyguards.

In 1982, Kelly lost control of her car and got into a car accident, her injuries were incompatible with life, so almost the next day, by decision of the prince, the life support apparatus that supported his wife's condition was turned off.

The billionaire did not refuse invitations, spending evenings surrounded by the most beautiful girls from high society, but, alas, using these fools only to achieve their goals. He managed to turn his every acquaintance (even with a lady) into a business, but that was until 1959, when he accidentally fell in love for real. His world turned upside down the moment he was introduced as a young opera singer Maria Callas, whose talent was applauded by the whole world.

And so he put all his affairs aside, becoming a devoted manager and generous producer of his beloved.

By the way, at the moment when the Greek tycoon was enjoying the company of the not free but desired Mary on his yacht, he was also bound by marriage, but at that time he was not particularly worried about it. Love turned the heads of Mary and Aristotle, and they had an affair in front of an astonished audience, spending all nights on deck, dancing and looking at the starry sky. Upon returning, the lovers immediately began to live together, but soon the billionaire from an ardent lover turned into a real tyrant, constantly insulting Mary in front of his friends, openly cheating and raising his hand to the once beloved woman. Kallas, blinded by love, endured, which further provoked her tyrant. As a result, she abandoned her career, lost her voice and withdrew into herself. Alas, the Greek tycoon not only did not take pity on his chosen one, but also truly betrayed the one whom he had recently admired. In October 1968, Aristotle Onassis married the widow of US President Jacqueline Kennedy, and Maria, who learned about it from the newspapers, closed herself in her apartment and turned into a real recluse.
