Married American Marriage Divorced Marrying Gold Digger People

When people get married, they usually "promise" (say that they will do something) to love and honor another person "till death do us part" (until one of us dies). However, some American "celebrities" (famous people, especially actors or musicians) have been married many times.

For example, Elizabeth Taylor is an American actress who is well known for her acting in many movies. However, she is even more famous for her marriages. She has been married eight times! Her first marriage, in 1950, lasted less than nine months. Her third marriage ended when her husband "passed away" (died), but all the other marriages have ended in divorce. She married one man, Richard Burton, another very famous actor, twice: once in 1964; they were divorced in 1974, and once in 1975; they divorced again in 1976. Currently she is 77 years old and divorced. It will be interesting to see if she decides to get married again.

Mickey Rooney is another American actor who has been married eight times. His first marriage "took place" (happened) in 1942, but they were divorced the following year. He "went through" (experienced) many marriages and divorces, and his current marriage took place in 1978. Today, 31 years later, he is still married to that woman, making his eighth marriage longer than all seven of his earlier marriages "combined" (added together).

Many "Hollywood marriages" (marriages among actors and other people involved in making American movies) don't last very long. Hollywood marriages and divorces are often "fodder" (something used for a specific purpose) for "tabloids" (newspapers that gossip about celebrities, saying bad things about them that aren't always true).
