Dynamic duos #2

Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner were married from 1951 to 1957. Frank left his "good" catholic wife Nancy (mother of Nancy and Frank Jr.) for "femme fatale" Ava, who had already been married twice (to child star Mickey Rooney and to band leader Artie Shaw). Frank and Ava had a highly publicized relationship, with reports of abortions, obsessive jealousy, violent fighting and one suicide attempt by Sinatra. All these events led the couple to divorce in six years after their marriage. But they remained friends forever, and Sinatra even paid her costly medical expenses after she went through 2 strokes in 1986. Picture by Stringer/Hulton Archive/Getty Images, taken in 1951.

Dynamic Duos #1

Italian director Federico Fellini and his wife, actress Giulietta Masina. With his humorous, confessional and surreal films (like La Dolce Vita, 8 1/2 and Amarcord), Rimini born Federico Fellini made a name for himself as one of the most inspiring and creative moviemakers of all time, winner of many awards around the world. Giulietta was his companion in marriage for 50 years and his artistic muse in a partnership that brought us masterpieces like La Strada (1954), Nights of Cabiria (1957) and Juliet of The Spirits (1965). She is often compared to Chaplin, for playing ingenues trapped in harsh realities. After many miscarriages and the loss of a young baby, the couple remained childless. She died from cancer in March 1994, less than six months after her husband Fellini died, in October 1993.
