From Quiz Love and Marriage - Hollywood Style.

Answer: Stan Laurel

It's no wonder Arthur Stanley Jefferson, otherwise known as Stan Laurel, the skinny half of 'Laurel and Hardy', was confused. He only had four wives, but managed to marry them a total of eight times. He tied the knot with his second wife, Virginia Ruth Rogers, in 1934 and again the following year, as his divorce from his first wife hadn't come through in time for the earlier ceremony. His third wife was Russian and he married her three times; the first time he thought it may not have been legal, so did it again; then a third time in the Russian Orthodox Church .. just to make sure! In the space of a couple of years he was back with wife number two again, whom he wed once more, and this time that lasted five years. Marriage to Ida Kitaeva Raphael quickly followed, to whom he was still married when he died in 1965, almost twenty years later. I guess he got the hang of it in the end!
