The performers in movies have to put forth a lot of effort. It may involve demanding production timelines or circumstances that demand a lot of emotional labor from its stars. Even actors who portray a couple onscreen often find themselves falling for their co-stars despite having a romantic relationship with someone else off-camera.
Due to the temptation, resentment, and stories that circulate in the industry, “Hollywood marriages” always seem to have an expiry date, and this date is typically considerably earlier than the marriages of us normal people. Even seemingly stable marriages might become upended in the aftermath of an especially acrimonious on-screen couple. On-set relationships can spark flings that turn into affairs that result in divorce. The failure of actual Hollywood marriages has been attributed to these 20 films.
The Misfits (1961)
Work and romance don’t always mix well. Marilyn Monroe and writer Arthur Miller are good examples. Although being married since 1956, the couple didn’t collaborate on a project until 1961’s The Misfits. Monroe found Miller to be difficult to deal with, and the many rewrites irritated him. The couple filed for divorce soon after the shooting was over. One year after the film’s debut, Monroe passed away.
