Paul Newman & Joanne Woodward. They are definitely my number 1. They have been together for 50 years! what they have is such true love and what they say about each other in interviews is just the cutest thing. I loved the movies they are in together, they have amazing chemistry and they are just so cute. I hope to have a love like there's one day.
"Joanne and Paul met in 1953 while both were working in the Broadway production of Picnic. In 1957 they worked together in the movie The Long, Hot Summer and feel in love. Shortly after Paul's divorce from Jackie, Joanne and Paul were married on January 29, 1958 in Las Vegas at the Hotel El Rancho Vegas, making this one of the longest Hollywood marriages on record. They have been married for 50 years".

Spencer Tracy & Katherine Hepburn.
They are just amazing together, I've always loved them in movies and they just belong to each other. It's sad they never got the chance to get married and really be with each other, but there romance is deffinitly a affiar to remember.
Who doesn't love Lucy and Desi? So it's pretty obvious that they were going to be on this list. They are just one of the cutest couples ever. I love them on I love Lucy and every movie they star in together. They are just perfect, it's sad that they didn't stay together forever.

Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall.
I've recently started to love them, I think they are just so cute together and I can't wait to see more of there films.
"Bogart met Lauren Bacall while filming To Have and Have Not (1944), a very loose adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway novel. The movie has many similarities with Casablanca — same enemies, same type of hero, even a piano player sidekick (this time Hoagy Carmichael). When they met Bacall was nineteen and Bogart was forty five. He nicknamed her "Baby." She was a model since sixteen and acted in two failed plays. Bogart was drawn to Bacall's high cheekbones, green eyes, tawny blond hair, and lean body, as well as her poise and earthy, outspoken honesty. Reportedly he said, "I just saw your test. We’ll have a lot of fun together". Their physical and emotional rapport was very strong from the start, and the age difference and different acting experience also created the additional dimension of a mentor-student relationship. Quite contrary to the Hollywood norm, it was his first affair with a leading lady. Bogart was still miserably married and his early meetings with Bacall were discreet and brief, their separations bridged by ardent love letters. The relationship made it much easier for the newcomer to make her first film, and Bogart did his best to put her at ease by joking with her and quietly coaching her. He let her steal scenes and even encouraged it. Hawks, for his part, also did his best to boost her performance and her role, and found Bogart easy to direct".

Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio.
I just love her and there story is so cute, yet tragic. I think they were an adorable couple and it sucks that they didn't last, but I'm sure if Marilyn didn't die they would of gotten remarried!
"According to her autobiography, Marilyn Monroe did not want to meet DiMaggio, fearing he was a stereotypical jock. Both were at different points in their lives: the just-retired Joe wanted to settle down; Marilyn's career was taking off. Their elopement at San Francisco City Hall on January 14, 1954 was the culmination of a courtship that had captivated the nation. The relationship was loving yet complex, marred by his jealousy and her ambition. DiMaggio biographer Richard Ben Cramer asserts it was also violent. One incident allegedly happened after the skirt-blowing scene in The Seven Year Itch was filmed on September 14, 1954 in front of New York's Trans-Lux Theater. Then-20th Century Fox's East Coast correspondent Bill Kobrin told the Palm Springs Desert Sun that it was Billy Wilder's idea to turn the shoot into a circus: "... every time her dress came up and the crowd started to get excited, DiMaggio just blew up." The couple then had a "yelling battle" in the theater lobby. When she filed for divorce 274 days after the wedding, Oscar Levant quipped it proved that no man could be a success in two pastimes. DiMaggio re-entered Marilyn's life as her marriage to Arthur Miller was ending. On February 10, 1961, he secured her release from Payne Whitney Psychiatric Clinic. She joined him in Florida where he was a batting coach for the Yankees. Their "just friends" claim did not stop remarriage rumors from flying. Joe was so alarmed at how Marilyn had returned to her self-destructive ways, falling in with people he felt detrimental to her (including Frank Sinatra and his "Rat Pack"), he quit his job with a military post-exchange supplier on August 1, 1962 to ask her to remarry him. But before he could, she was found dead on August 5. Her death was deemed a probable suicide but is subject to endless conspiracy theories. Devastated, he claimed her body and arranged her funeral, barring Hollywood's elite. He had a half-dozen red roses delivered 3 times a week to her crypt for the next 20 years. Unlike her other two husbands or other men who knew her intimately (or claimed to) he refused to talk about her publicly or write a tell-all. He never remarried".

"Hepburn made her first appearance opposite Spencer Tracy in Woman of the Year (1942), directed by George Stevens. Behind the scenes the pair fell in love, beginning what would become one of the silver screen's most famous romances, despite Tracy's marriage to another woman. Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy loved each other deeply. Her whole life and career was dominated by her love for Tracy, though this affair had its moments of anguish and dejection. Hepburn and Tracy unleashed their passion and chemistry on screen and made a brilliant movie pair. The period of their love gave Hollywood some of the most brilliant films ever to be made till now. The nine films which this couple made together were a proof of their strong love both off screen and on screen. Hepburn continued to love Tracy even after his death. She was reclusive about her life and only spoke of her love for Spencer Tracy after the death of Louise Tracy in 1983".
