Natasha Richardson & Liam Neeson
After being cast as lovers in the Roundabout's sexually-charged 1993 revival of Eugene O'Neill's Anna Christie.
Married on July 3, 1994. Open-ended.
With the heat of their affair burning up the stage at Anna Christie, not to mention the box office, the two sexy movie stars were both nominated for Tonys for their work in the show. Both lost. What they gained, however, was a love that's proven a definitive winner. Relationship experts predict a long run. And though Hollywood snapped them up for co-starring roles in the 1994 Jodie Foster flick Nell, getting the dynamic duo back on the boards hasn't been easy. Rumored for the regal leads in a revival of Camelot proved to be just that, rumors. And while individually both have scored Broadway triumphs Natasha's Tony-winning turn in Cabaret; Liam's acclaimed Proctor in The Crucible, theater gods keep scratching their heads trying to find the right vehicle for the pair to reunite in on the Great White Way–and cast the spell of Anna Christie again. Because, on the scale of sheer, simmering stage heat, once is definitely not enough.
