Hollywood Marriage

A Hollywood marriage originally meant a glamorous high society marriage between celebrities involved in the U.S. film industry; the word "Hollywood" is often used to represent the US film industry. However, the term has grown to also have strong negative connotations of a marriage that is of short duration and quickly ends in separation or divorce. The term developed the negative connotations fairly early; by the 1930s, a "Hollywood marriage" was a marriage both glamorous and short-lived. This connotation may also have related, at times, to moral panics over Hollywood's influence on the culture.

Sympathetic views of celebrities point out that in Hollywood, it is mostly the bad marriages that are documented by the media, giving a skewed perspective that might make "Hollywood marriages" appear to have a worse success rate than they have in reality. In the St. Joseph's article from 1938, cited in the above paragraph, the paper only studied "Hollywood marriages" that had ended in divorce and ignored those couples still married at that time. For a more modern example, when Tiger Woodswas not experiencing marital problems, the public hardly heard of his married life. But, after his infidelity was exposed, the media continually dealt with his marriage, in sharp contrast to the times when the marriage was untroubled.^[5]

Negative views of Hollywood marriages take the position that the divorce rates are indeed unusually high among celebrities and that this is caused by faults within Hollywood as a culture or by personal faults of the celebrities themselves. They point to the usage of weddings as publicity stunts, the egotism or immaturity of celebrities or "celebrity culture", and high rates of infidelity or promiscuity. Bee Wilson, in an article for The Daily Telegraph, critiqued "Hollywood marriages" for often being based on the unrealistic dreams of what she termed "permanent children," although she points to some classic Hollywood couples, like Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart or Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, as exceptions to these criticisms.

"Hollywood marriages" that lasted less than three years

The idea that the term "Hollywood marriage" equates to something short-term is sometimes displayed by citing celebrities who had marriages that ended in divorce or annulment within three years. The following examples of that and reasons may be given when known.

• Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds: Married for 2 years.
• Sinéad O'Connor and Barry Herridge: Married for 16 days.
• Katy Perry and Russell Brand: Married for 14 months. This is the first marriage for both
• Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries: Married for 72 days. It was the First for Humphries and the second for Kardashian
• Pamela Anderson and Rick Salomon: Married for ten weeks. She was also married to Kid Rock for six months.^[7][8]
• Drew Barrymore and Jeremy Thomas: Nineteen days from February to March 1994.^[9] Her second marriage, to comedian Tom Green, lasted a little over a year.

Rudolph Valentino & Jean Acker

Married: 6 hours
What Went Wrong: This classic doomed romance perhaps started the trend of fast-paced divorce. Valentino, a famous Italian actor — nicknamed "the Latin Lover" — impulsively married the American actress in 1919. She quickly regretted the decision and locked him out of their honeymoon suite. After knocking for 20 minutes (the door, not boots), he headed home. In divorce proceedings, she claimed they never consummated their union.
