Tim Burton goofing off with his longtime girlfriend Lisa Marie in 1995. If Lisa Marie is recognizable, it is because she was in 4 of Burtons films when together. The pair were together from 1992 until 2001, when Burton left Marie for Helena Bonham Carter. Marie responded by selling a ton of Burtons personal things in 2005. Lisa Marie did modeling and some acting since then, but not much. Tim Burton of course is one of the most unique film makers of the last 30 years. Married only once for 4 years until 1991, he has only since had longtime partners. He and Carter had 2 children together, but parted after 13 years in 2014. To the happiness of many of his fans, Burton announced plans to make a Beetlejuice 2 in the next year or 2. -

Nicolas Cage and his wife Lisa Marie Presley pose for a magazine in 2002. Cage was a huge Elvis fan, and it prompted him to court Elvis's daughter, an accomplished artist in her own right, after they met. The marriage was super brief, as they filed for divorce the same year they were married back in 2002. In fact, it took 2 years to finalize the divorce, nearly 4 times the length of the actual marriage. Cage has actually been married 3 times, with his first wife being fellow Academy Award winner Patricia Arquette. Lisa Marie Presley has been married 4 times and has 6 children. Her other famous marriage was to none other than Michael Jackson. -
3.
Natalie Wood and her husband Robert Wagner aboard their yacht in 1978. Wood actually married Wagner twice, and the couple had 1 child together. In fact, Wood left her second husband, Richard Gregson (1 child) to remarry her first husband Wagner. Both actors had strong careers, with Wood being a huge star for a while. -
4.
Anna May Wong hanging out at a producers home sometime in the early 1920s. She is most likely 16 or 17 in this picture. Anna started out in show business from a friend of her fathers (without his knowledge) at the age of just 14 as an extra. She has the honor of being the first Asian American movie star. -
5.
Rosie O'Donnell with her 5 children in 2016. The 3 oldest were adopted, with the one in red being born to O'Donnell's first wife Kelli O'Donnell and the youngest to O'Donnell's second wife Michelle Rounds. Rosie married Kelli in 2004, but annulled the same year. Oddly enough they stayed together for 3 more years. -
6.
14 Year old Céline Dion (left) with some of her family and her 40 year old mentor/manager René Angelil (right) in 1982. Céline met René 2 years prior, and he declared her a star and became her mentor/manager. -
7.
17 Year Old Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift goof off between scenes for a Life Magazine shoot for their film A Place in the Sun in 1949. The film would be released 2 years later. For a while, the 2 claimed to be the best of friends, and were together quite often. -
8.
Audrey Hepburn hanging out at the beach in 1965. Audrey has had an amazing life but many don't know she turned down huge films in the 1960s and 70s to raise her children. A dental assistant before becoming an actress, Hepburn survived WWII in the Netherlands, and had an amazing career, and seemed to be universally loved by all for her friendly, goofy, and just overall fun personality. A cool note is when she was helping out allied soldiers as a 16 year old nurse in WWII, she actually nursed one of her future directors, Terrance Young, who would direct her over 20 years later in Wait Until Dark. Another cool fact to showcase her immense talent is Hepburn has not only won an Oscar, but also a Tony, an Emmy and a Grammy Award. -
9.
Eva Green chatting with Prince Charles after he received the UK Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award during a ceremony at Apsley House in 2011. The stunning and super talented Green has been active in the Arts for years. Never married with no children, she comes from an acting family. Her mother is actress turned children's book writer Marlène Jobert. Often in her roles it appears she has a thick British accent, but she is in fact French, and learned English very late, needing a speech coach to help her perfect it. -
10.
Jean Harlow posing for a sexy photo shoot in 1933. Before there was Marilyn Monroe, there was Jean Harlow. She modelled often, posed nude, had the same signature features as Monroe with a mole, blonde hair, and a stunning figure. Why are the 2 so similar you might ask, because Harlow was Monroe's idol. She was arguably THE sex symbol of the 1930s, turning that into a strong career. She did 43 films in just 8 years after starting out in 1928 at age 17. -

Daniel Day-Lewis attends a premier with his wife Rebecca Miller in 2009. DDL, perhaps the greatest actor ever, just retired from acting, wishing to focus his time with his family. The amazing actor has been in only 18 major films (the 19th and last one on the way) in 37 years of acting. Born in the UK, he is extremely gifted in his accents and gets utterly immersed in his roles. For example, during The Last of the Mohicans (1992), he learned how to build a canoe, learned to track and skin animals, and did so throughout filming, and perfected the use of a 12-pound flintlock musket, which he took everywhere he went, even to a Christmas dinner. He and his wife, who happens to be the daughter of famous playwright Arthur Miller and photographer Inge Morath, have been married since 1996 (2 children), meeting on the film The Crucible, an adaptation of Arthur Miller's famous play. -

Sean Penn and his wife Louise Ciccone out at a benefit event in 1988. The pair met in 1984 and got married in 1985. The marriage would last only 4 years, as both were exploding into major stars at the time in their fields. The divorce cited irreparable differences. Despite that, the 2 remained friends in some capacity, and even after both divorced their next spouses some 20 years later, were seen out together quite a few times. -

Susan Sarandon hanging out with David Bowie in 1983. The pair met while filming The Hunger together, and were secretly together for a time. -

Alan Rickman has lunch with his long time partner Rima Horton and a friend sometime between 2005 and 2010. Rickman and Horton met when he was 19 and she was 18 in 1965 at the Chelsea College of Arts. Rickman said Horton was his first real girlfriend and he knew he loved her from the start. He never left her side, despite his movie success and her political career, as the 2 stayed together for the next 51 years. Horton was in Parliament for 20 years up until 2006. She also worked as a spokesperson on education during her tenure. The 2 married secretly in 2012, in a small ceremony. Horton hated lavish gifts, and Rickman never showered her with jewelry. -
15.
5 Original cast members of the show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (Tatyana Ali, Karyn Parsons, Alfonso Ribeiro, James Avery, and of course Will Smith) take a picture with 3 lucky fans while out together in 2008. Will Smith would tweet this same photo, with the 3 fans edited out, in 2013 after the death of James Avery who died from complications from open heart surgery at age 68. Smith said it was the last time most of the cast was together with Avery. -
16.
John Barrymore hanging out sometime in the 1920s. John was one of the first stars of Hollywood as he had a terrific career, first in silent films, then in sound and was a huge success in plays on Broadway and around the country as well. If the name sounds familiar, it's because he is from the very successful Barrymore family. The family tradition continues today with Drew Barrymore, who is his granddaughter. -
17.
Brendan Gleeson (center) with his 2 sons Brian Gleeson (left) and Domhnall Gleeson (right) in 2015. Brendan has 4 sons total with his wife of 35 years, Mary Gleeson, but only these 2 act. The Irish born Brendan has had a terrific career that started surprisingly when he was already 34. He has been in some of the biggest films, and is an amazing actor. His son Domhnall (pronounced "doh-nall") has exploded recently as an actor in films like Ex-Machina, Star Wars: The Force Awakens and The Revenant, and has a very bright career ahead of himself that one day may rival his father. -
18.
Sir Laurence Olivier and his wife Vivien Leigh take pictures for a magazine in 1941. The 2 British born actors married the year before, and were one of Hollywood's power couples until their divorce in 1961. -
19.
Author J.K. Rowling at the premiere of the film 'Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince' in 2009. The stunning writer is now worth over $1 billion due to the Harry Potter phenomenon (first writer to ever be a billionaire). She is also the best selling author in the history of literature. And shockingly, 9 publishers denied her concept, thinking it wasn't worth it. Even the one that signed her told her she probably wasn't going to make any money off her books. She also used to live on state-benefits, and is a classic rags-to-riches story. Couple interesting notes; she used to be an English teacher at one point. She has been married twice, with 3 children. Her eldest daughter from her first marriage was her main inspiration and first audience for her books. She has also penned a crime novel under another name to try and ensure it was reviewed independently. She now lives in a castle, yes a real castle, with her husband and their 2 children and she will be turning just 52 at the end of this month- July 31.
