A look back at famous romances from 1965 to present day.
1965: Sonny and Cher
In 1965, Sonny and Cher released their anthem to true love, "I Got You Babe." The song hit number-one on the Billboard charts, so maybe, in the end, their love could pay the rent.
1966: Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy
This one's a bit controversial, because Tracy never left his wife for Hepburn. Still, their crackling on-screen chemistry in an incredible list of classic films make them one of the most famous couples of all time. Tracy died in 1967 and the pair's last film was also released that year; the ever-important Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?
1967: Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward
Woodward and Newman's 50-year relationship (until his death) is what we all strive for: On being faithful to one woman for so long, he famously said, "I have steak at home, so why should I go out for a hamburger?" It's also important to note that Woodward won her Oscar first, in 1958, for her role in The Three Faces of Eve.
1968: Julie Andrews and Blake Edwards
One of Hollywood's most endearing couples, Andrews and Edwards filmed Darling Lili, where she was the star and he was the director, in 1968. (He was famed for directing Breakfast at Tiffany's and she'd already hit big with The Sound of Music.) They wed the following year.
1969: Yoko Ono and John Lennon
The couple used their relationship to create art and protest the Vietnam War with their "Bed-In." For their honeymoon they staged nonviolent protests in Amsterdam and then again in Montreal.
1970: Barbara Streisand and Elliot Gould
Fresh off the success of Funny Girl and Hello, Dolly! Barbra Streisand was a bona fide star by 1970, but this was a big year for her then husband, Gould, who stared in M.A.S.H., one of the highest-grossing movies of the decade.
1971: Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland
In '71 Fonda and Sutherland starred in Klute (Fonda won a Best Actress Oscar for her role) and a romance blossomed. The two protested the Vietnam War as well, putting up a touring show, near military bases, called "F.T.A."
1972: Carly Simon and James Taylor
The musical duo married in '72 and Simon also scored big with "You're So Vain" (which wasn't about Taylor).
1973: Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw
They starred in 1972's The Getaway and were married a year later. She was known for the tearjerker Love Story and he was a Hollywood heartthrob for The Thomas Crown Affair, The Great Escape, and several other classics.
1974: Jack Nicholson and Anjelica Huston
The brutally heartbreaking details of their relationship were captured in her 2014 book Watch Me: A Memoir. For now, just marvel at this photo.
1975: Liz Taylor and Richard Burton
This year marked the second marriage for this tumultuous duo, who smoldered together in Cleopatra in 1963, married in 1964, and got divorced in 1974 only to get married again in '75. Sure, it was an up-and-down relationship, but it was always interesting.
1976: Farrah Fawcett and Lee Majors
In 1973, when Majors and Fawcett married, he starred in The Six Million Dollar Man. Cut to three years later where Fawcett was starring in Charlie's Angels. They're a classic Hollywood couple, if not Fawcett's most famous pairing (that would be Ryan O'Neal).
1977: Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger
Before she was married to Rupert Murdoch (a power couple that did not make the list), model Jerry Hall was with the Rolling Stones front-man, spending a good chunk of '77 gallivanting around New York and at Studio 54 with him.
1978: Diane Keaton and Warren Beatty
People Magazine called Keaton and Beatty "two of the hottest properties in films" around this time. They were quite the glamorous pair — take, for example, this other great quote from the People article, "[They're] a neurotically private couple who have spent most of the last 10 months winging between his Beverly Hills mansion and her two-bedroom flat in Manhattan."
1979: Eric Clapton and Pattie Boyd
In 1977 Clapton released "Wonderful Tonight," a song Boyd called the "most poignant reminder of all that was good in our relationship…" in her memoir of the same name. Although her autobiography tells a darker story of their relationship, the song captures a perfect moment. The couple was married in 1979.
1980: Paul Simon and Carrie Fisher
This year Simon released One-Trick Pony, the album and the movie, which he wrote and starred in. Fisher reprised her role as Princess Leia in The Empire Strikes Back. So, needless to say, it was a pretty epic time for the pair.
1981: Prince Charles and Lady Diana
Their iconic royal wedding took place on July 29. David and Elizabeth Emanuel designed the fabulous wedding dress.
1982: Danny Devito and Rhea Pearlman
DeVito was starring in Taxi and Pearlman (who also had a role in Taxi) was in Cheers, two of the biggest shows of the time, when they tied the knot this year.
1983: Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr.
Just look at these amazing pictures of them on Old Loves Tumblr.
1984: Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell
The longtime couple is famously unmarried, but maybe true love, for them at least, isn't about wedding rings.
