Hollywood have seen many golden couples come and go. Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart, Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner, and Marilyn Monroe and Joe DiMaggio are just some.

But when speaking about legendary celebrity couples, you have to mention the late Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, today 92.

Paul and Joanne wed in 1958 and stayed married until Newman died in 2008 at age 83. Joanne and Paul spent 50 years together, starring in movies, traveling, and raising a family.

But did you know that Woodward wasn’t impressed with her future husband when they first met?

Paul Newman is one of the most beloved actors and performers of his generation. Together with Joanne Woodward, they were a timeless golden Hollywood couple.

People might think that Newman was the lone star of the relationship. But actually, Joanne Woodward can look back on a successful career, winning plenty of awards and shining like the biggest and brightest Hollywood stars.

She was highly respected for her convincing and fabulous roles in film, theatre, and television. Joanne distinguished herself from other actresses in 50’s Hollywood, having strong and independent roles instead of the many helpless ones often given to women at the time.

Joanne Woodward was born on Feb. 27, 1930, in Thomasville, Georgia.

She attended Greenville High School in Greenville, South Carolina, and still a teenager, Joanne won several beauty contests.
