It's been happening since the creation of movies. Long nights, lots of downtime, attractive people, exotic locations....often spells romance for actors.
:love:

President Ronald Reagan met both of his wives, first Jane Wyman, then Nancy Davis, while filming movies with them.

Huge scandal back in the 60s when Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton fell in love during the filming of 'Cleopatra'. They were both married to others at the time, and eventually married each other, twice.

Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell met on the set of 1984's 'Swing Shift'.

Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe had the fling heard round the world while filming, 'Proof of Life'. It didn't last but ended her marriage to Dennis Quaid.

Others?

I remember it was big news when he dumped Linda Hamilton for Suzy Amis who had a role in Titanic. She took him to the cleaners financially.

I recall reading that Linda had been Cameron's 'other woman' at one time as well. They had a child in 1993. I believe they met on the set of one of the Terminator films.

Robert Lieberman and Bonnie Bedelia met on the set of Fighting Back: The Rocky Bleier Story. They married in the early eighties and then divorced in 1986.

Bonnie Bedelia and Michael MacRae met on the set of Shadow of A Doubt in 1995. They married in March of 1996 and have been married ever since.

I'm full of Bonnie Bedelia knowledge. It's quite sad. I need a new hobby...

Bobby Darin met Sandra Dee in Italy on location for "Come September." They got married shortly thereafter, even though she was only 16 at the time.

Helena (Homewrecker) Bonham Carter met Kenneth Branagh on the set of "Frankenstein" and split him and Emma Thompson up. Then she met Tim Burton on the set of "Planet of the Apes" and split him and Lisa Marie up. She's now living with him. :rolleyes: (Can you tell she's not my favorite person in the world?)

Ok, I really need to dig a little deeper because I'm not entirely sure which movie sets these couples met, but I wanted to include them:

George C. Scott and former wife, Colleen Dewhurst. Also, Trish Van Devere. Then there's Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.

I read somewhere that Kate Capshaw has admitted that she set her sights on Spielberg even though she knew he was married, and deliberatly tried to break up his marriage.

I guess it worked.

They didn't meet on a set - they knew each other before when they were both understudies in New York.

Ya'll forgot about Sylvester Stallone & Brigette Nielsen gettin married after they met on the movie sets of Rocky IV & Cobra. Their marriage ended quick LOL. Omar Epps & Sanaa Lathan became a couple after playin in the movie Love & Basketball together. They aren't together anymore though but they were dating for awhile. Nicole Ari Parker & Boris Kodjoe are a couple now after playin on Soul Food tv show together. They have a new tv show coming on soon on UPN network called Second Time Around & they're expecting their first child. I think Wesley Snipes met his woman on the movie set of One Night Stand. He has a asian woman.

Kevin Bacon & Kyra Sedgewick met each other doing a movie together but i forgot what movie it was they did together. Charlize Theron & Stuart Townsend met each other during Trapped movie they did together & now they're a couple. Halle Berry & Wesley Snipes were dating for a minute i heard when they did Jungle Fever movie. I also heard that Wesley hit her so hard in one of her ears that it caused her to be deaf in one of her ears.

Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy met while filming, 'Woman of The Year', and were together for almost 30 years. He never divorced his wife, due to his children and religious beliefs. They made nine movies together.

I wonder if Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall met on a movie set.

Michael J. Fox and Tracy Pollan met on the set of "Family Ties". But, I think they didn't get together until 1988 when they filmed "Bright Lights Big City".

Bacall and Bogart filmed "The Big Sleep" together in 1946. I'm not sure if that was when they met or not.

Hanky Panky was '82, Blazing saddles was in the seventies. Course, just cuz they were in it together doesn't mean they met there - I just assumed they did.
