You can type the words stewardess, secrete, onion, long, ass, asswad, poll, and I'm sure many others with one hand. Does this count for useless info?? 
Jeez guys, freakin truth seekers had to go and nitpick my thread 
I was driving to work today and heard a snippet on Meg Ryan and Russel Crowe... and being as she was married to Dennis Quaid for so long and now divorced, it struck me HOW MANY Hollywood couples do divorce... and then I wondered who had the longest Hollywood marriage... so this moring, I start my search.
So far, Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward are both well known American actors, with lengthy and successful careers in film. They were married January 29, 1958, at 1:00 PM and are still married at present, making this one of the longest Hollywood marriages on record.
Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertinelli split in 2002 after 20 years of marriage
Sophia Loren and Carlo Ponti married September 17, 1957 (he's a producer)
I'm at a loss to find anything else.

What about Ronnie and Nancy???
edit: they were married in 1952, so by my math that would have made them married for 52 years.
