Successful marriages in show business defy quick divorces
A survey of actors and actresses shows many lifelong pairs, including Alexis Smith and Craig Stevens, Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme, and Hugh Downs and Ruth Shaheen, chose non professional or supportive partners. The piece notes women often sacrificed careers for family and travel, with several spouses encouraging or accepting shifts away from acting. The article also recalls Lydia Heston, Charlton Heston, Gene Barry, and Lloyd Bridges discussing how partnerships shaped careers. A final historical line mentions wartime talks in Moscow on Korea.
