Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward

Newman and Woodward met while performing in the play Picnic, which was set to be his Broadway debut and where Woodward was an understudy at the time.Paul was 28 and Joanne was 22.

Newman later confessed he fell in love with the 22-year-old the moment he laid eyes on her, but to Woodward he was "just a pretty face". Though, she admitted, a very pretty one."She was modern and independent, whereas I was shy and a bit conservative. It took me a long time to persuade her that I wasn't as dull as I looked," Newman once admitted in his biography.

In January of 1958, Woodward and Newman finally wed, tying the knot in Las Vegas before escaping to London for their honeymoon.They then settled in Connecticut, where they started a family in an 18th-century farmhouse that was a far cry from the mansions and LA hotspots film stars favoured at the time.They welcomed three daughters in the following years.That romance lingered until 2008, when their 50-year marriage was cut short by Newman's death from lung cancer aged 83.

Some movies they filmed together: Long Hot Summer (1958), Paris Blues (1961) , A New Kind of Love (1963)
