To get married.... and divorced in Hollywood. People magazine is full of upcoming stories of future nuptials and babies. Stories of who's wearing a mysterious ring , could they be engaged? You know the stories.
The most ironic thing is the most successful celebrity marriages don't occur in the limelight. The celebrities successfully seperate their careers from their private lives. Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson for example have been married 24 years. Tom's career has been phenomenal starring in many movies but he gets little recognition from tabloids or even People magazine because his personal life is far removed from Hollywood.
Gary Sinese (Forrest Gump's Lt Dan) and his wife have been married 31 years. David Morse (Green Mile) has been married 30 years.
Dolly Parton has been married for 46 years. Dolly is one of music's most recognized icons in the world but she's successfully kept her home life private.
Dolly considers her long marriage her biggest achievement.
And there is several other celebrity marriages just as long but choose to live quietly amongst the shadows. These couples didn't declare their love by jumping on a couch on network TV or televising their relationship and wedding.
One story on people that recently caught my eye is Danny Devito and Rhea Perlman reuniting after being seperated for several months. There was talk of infidelity and the comments on People was surreal.
Many think Rhea was stupid for taking him back. I applaud them working to save their 30 year marriage and 40 year relationship.
In my opinion unless a marriage is irretrievably broken you work to save it.
My prediction for those recently sporting a new engagement ring only half will make it official. And of the couples that make it to the alter some will end in divorce before their 5 year anniversary.
