"Half of all marriages end in divorce--and then there are the
really unhappy ones."
--Joan Rivers
Do you suppose that the person who first said "Life is stranger
than fiction" might have had Hollywood marriages in mind? Why watch
a romantic film starring a leading man and a leading lady when
their real-life romances are so much more interesting? It seems
that a celebrity's latest film can have a considerably longer life
span in the theater than his or her marriage du jour.
One would almost think that Tinseltown has come to embrace
divorce as an accepted pastime. Some celebrities have seemingly
collected spouses over the years, systematically adding notches in
their belts of divorces. Cases in point: Zsa Zsa Gabor (nine), Lana
Turner (eight), Elizabeth Taylor (nine), and Mickey Rooney (eight).
This list appears to make Jennifer Lopez a mere novice with only
three marriages, two divorces, and one terminated engagement to
date.
In The Hollywood Book of Breakups, James Robert Parish looks at
scores of hot Hollywood romances that eventually fell apart. From
the decade-long union of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman to the
"just-for-show" nuptials of Rock Hudson and Phyllis Gates to the
four-and-a-half-year marriage of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston to
the "other woman" divorce of Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher,
Parish covers it all--from the burning embers to the fizzling fires
of Hollywood breakups. You couldn't make this stuff up--and James
Robert Parish doesn't need to. Hollywood writes its own drama when
it comes to scandalous breakups.
