Question 1 of 10
1. We first found love in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but our time together was threatened by illness and by a promised volcanic sacrifice. Next, we found each other thanks to a radio show, but it was a long and twisty journey to our rendezvous at the top of the Empire State Building. That was so successful that we gave correspondence another try, falling in love over email before realizing we were business rivals. Who are we? Hint


Question 2 of 10
2. Our nine films together mapped the changing landscape of love. First, we were journalists who married too quickly, and we had to invent a marriage of equals. Then we were driven apart by a fascist plot, after which we tried for a marriage without love. We further explored this "struggling marriage" theme against backdrops of the prairie, a political campaign, a courtroom, and a golf championship. We presided over the introduction of computers to the workplace, and we survived when our daughter introduced us to the black man she was going to marry. Who are we? Hint


Question 3 of 10
3. Moviegoers never ran away from our relationship. First, we met as a business tycoon and a prostitute in a modern variant of "My Fair Lady"; our love was sealed with a kiss. Later, we found each other again, as a bride with serially cold feet and a reporter who tried to understand her. Who are we? Hint


Question 4 of 10
4. We fell in love in 1985 under inauspicious circumstances: we were co-workers in the wedding industry, and we were each engaged to marry someone else. That ended well, so in our next movie, you can't blame us for trying again ... and again .. and again. It wasn't that we weren't well-matched: it was that one of us had amnesia! Who are we? Hint


Question 5 of 10
5. We could never get enough of each other: we made nine movies together and married twice in real life. Our cinematic love took us to Rome and Egypt, airport lounges, and Haiti. We argued over the education of a young boy, terrorized a younger couple with our delusions of parenthood, re-enacted Shakespeare, made a deal with the devil, grappled with terminal illness and escaped from a mental institution. Who are we? Hint


Question 6 of 10
6. Even though we appeared together in three movies, audiences never saw us fall in love for the first time. Always, we played a married couple, struggling against our marriage's end. The first time, we were so suspicious of each other that we nearly divorced; later, a shipwreck kept us apart until it was almost too late. Our last film, though, wasn't screwball at all: it was the death of a child that brought us to the brink. Who are we? Hint


Question 7 of 10
7. Though our love didn't always pan out in our nine films together, it took us through time and space. We first met in 17th-century Jamaica; we lived a while in 19th-century India. Next we were in England in the time of Richard the Lionheart, followed by a rare foray into our own golden age: the 1930s. A string of westerns was interrupted by a spell of Tudor intrigue and followed by a musical fundraiser for World War II. We wooed each other in ruffles and bonnets, doublets and uniforms. Who are we? Hint


Question 8 of 10
8. We're beginning to feel like poster children for historical, doomed love. First it was 1912, and we met on a luxurious ocean liner, falling in love despite our differences in social station. Wouldn't you know it? The ship sank! We had a second chance in 1955, but our strict suburban environment killed our free-spirited love, and our arguments were horrible. Who are we? Hint


Question 9 of 10
9. "You know how to whistle, don't you?" We first fell in love on the island of Martinique, as a fisherman and a pickpocket brought together when war turned the world upside-down. Next, we found each other in the course of a murder investigation, as a private eye and a suspect's sister. Yet another murder restored us to each other, when one of us sheltered the other, an escaped con looking for the real killer. Our last on-screen courtship was as violent as the others: this time, we faced an invasion of gangsters. Who are we? Hint


Question 10 of 10
10. We danced our way across the screen in ten movies, sometimes as the leads and sometimes as supporting players. Whether we were dancers, comedians, or big band members, the plots were an afterthought: the romance was always in our footwork. We didn't even kiss until our eighth picture! Who are we? Hint

1. We first found love in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, but our time together was threatened by illness and by a promised volcanic sacrifice. Next, we found each other thanks to a radio show, but it was a long and twisty journey to our rendezvous at the top of the Empire State Building. That was so successful that we gave correspondence another try, falling in love over email before realizing we were business rivals. Who are we?

Answer: Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks

Ryan and Hanks were big romantic-comedy stars in the 1980s and 1990s; Ryan was widely known as "America's Sweetheart." Their first outing together was in 1990's "Joe Versus the Volcano," wherein Joe Banks agreed to be an island people's volcanic sacrifice in exchange for a fortune, since he'd been diagnosed with a terminal illness.

But when he met Patricia Graynamore, life suddenly seemed worth living. "Sleepless in Seattle" (1993) was another triumph of life: prodded by his young son, widower Sam Baldwin shared his loneliness and heartache on the radio, and made a connection with the lovely Annie Reed.

In "You've Got Mail" (1998), Joe Fox and Kathleen Kelly fell for each other as online correspondents -- never suspecting that they knew each other in real life, as owners of competing bookstores. None of these little obstacles could stand between Ryan and Hanks for long, though!
2. Our nine films together mapped the changing landscape of love. First, we were journalists who married too quickly, and we had to invent a marriage of equals. Then we were driven apart by a fascist plot, after which we tried for a marriage without love. We further explored this "struggling marriage" theme against backdrops of the prairie, a political campaign, a courtroom, and a golf championship. We presided over the introduction of computers to the workplace, and we survived when our daughter introduced us to the black man she was going to marry. Who are we?

Answer: Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy

Hepburn and Tracy met on the set of their first movie (the 1942 proto-feminist film "Woman of the Year") and subsequently enjoyed a profound, if scandalous, twenty-five-year relationship. In their second movie, "Keeper of the Flame" (1943), they scarcely had time to meet, becoming embroiled in the fascist plotting of Hepburn's character's late husband.

In 1945's "Without Love," they married to aid the war effort, but couldn't stop themselves from falling for each other. "Sea of Grass" (1947) explored a troubled relationship on the prairie, while "State of the Union" (1948) showed that such troubles were not easier on the campaign trail. "Adam's Rib" (1949) pitted them against each other, both as spouses and as lawyers on opposite sides of a case. "Pat and Mike" (1952) starred Hepburn as a golf star and Tracy as her appealing promoter, while "Desk Set" (1957; released in the U.K. as "His Other Woman") had Tracy introducing computers to Hepburn's library.

Their last movie together, 1967's "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," placed them as white parents befuddled by their daughter's interracial romance. Tracy died just 17 days after filming stopped; a heartbroken Hepburn won an Oscar for her role.
3. Moviegoers never ran away from our relationship. First, we met as a business tycoon and a prostitute in a modern variant of "My Fair Lady"; our love was sealed with a kiss. Later, we found each other again, as a bride with serially cold feet and a reporter who tried to understand her. Who are we?

Answer: Julia Roberts and Richard Gere

"Pretty Woman" (1990) was something of a comeback film for Gere, and helped solidify Roberts' reputation as a star. The film threw corporate takeover artist Edward Lewis together with prostitute Vivian Ward, whom he hired for a week to help him with the social aspects of his job. Edward played fairy godfather to Vivian's Cinderella, and each of them taught the other something about life and love.

1999's "Runaway Bride" was also educational for the two main characters, columnist Ike Graham and column-ized Maggie Carpenter. Ike had to learn about journalistic diligence; Maggie had to learn how to follow through on a commitment. How fortunate for them that they could learn together!
4. We fell in love in 1985 under inauspicious circumstances: we were co-workers in the wedding industry, and we were each engaged to marry someone else. That ended well, so in our next movie, you can't blame us for trying again ... and again .. and again. It wasn't that we weren't well-matched: it was that one of us had amnesia! Who are we?

Answer: Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler

Both Barrymore and Sandler are well-known for gentle charisma and skillful comedic timing, and their on-screen chemistry made them a popular pairing. "The Wedding Singer" (1998) began with Robbie Hart being left at the altar in the 1980s; as the movie went on, he found friendship and true love with waitress Julia Sullivan, and won her over from her fiancé with the help of rock icon Billy Idol.

In 2004, the actors were paired again in "50 First Dates", this time in Hawai'i and with a big twist: Barrymore's character, Lucy Whitmore, suffered from a kind of amnesia, and forgot each day's events when she went to sleep. Undaunted, Henry Roth (Sandler) set out to woo her every day as if for the first time.
5. We could never get enough of each other: we made nine movies together and married twice in real life. Our cinematic love took us to Rome and Egypt, airport lounges, and Haiti. We argued over the education of a young boy, terrorized a younger couple with our delusions of parenthood, re-enacted Shakespeare, made a deal with the devil, grappled with terminal illness and escaped from a mental institution. Who are we?

Answer: Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton

When Taylor and Burton met on the set of the fabulously expensive period drama "Cleopatra" (1963), each was married to somebody else, but they fell for each other immediately and married the year after the movie's release. Taylor was Burton's second wife; Burton was Taylor's fifth husband.

"The V.I.P.s" took place in an airport lounge and starred Taylor as Burton's wayward wife; released in 1963, before their wedding, it presaged a tumultuous real-life marriage. In "The Sandpiper" (1965), the married couple portrayed extramarital lovers; in 1966's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", theirs was the definition of a dysfunctional marriage. They starred in a 1967 film version of Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew," about a nobleman's courtship of a woman who knew her own mind and made sure everyone else knew it too. When Burton struck a deal with the devil in 1967 ("Doctor Faustus," a version of the Marlowe play), Taylor was his vision of Helen of Troy. "The Comedians" (1967), which was not a comedy, took them to an increasingly dictatorial Haiti; the flop "Boom!" (1968) had Taylor coping with her impending demise. Finally, "Hammersmith Is Out" (1972) had Burton escaping from a mental hospital, suborning an orderly with the help of Taylor. They divorced just two years later, then gave marriage another go before calling it quits for good in 1976.
6. Even though we appeared together in three movies, audiences never saw us fall in love for the first time. Always, we played a married couple, struggling against our marriage's end. The first time, we were so suspicious of each other that we nearly divorced; later, a shipwreck kept us apart until it was almost too late. Our last film, though, wasn't screwball at all: it was the death of a child that brought us to the brink. Who are we?

Answer: Irene Dunne and Cary Grant

Dunne and Grant, both justly famous for a light comedic touch, were well-matched in their trio of films. "The Awful Truth" (1937) followed the madcap adventures of Jerry and Lucy Warriner as they strayed from their marriage, sought a divorce, and -- through a series of improbable events -- found happiness with each other once more. Dunne was nominated for an Oscar for this role. In their next venture, "My Favorite Wife" (1940), she played Ellen Arden, who returned home after having been stranded on a tropical island for seven years -- only to find that she was legally dead and that her husband Nick had remarried that morning. Hijinks ensued, but the original Arden couple had a happy ending.

"Penny Serenade" (1941), their final foray together, was a much sadder movie. Under the strain of a miscarriage and a child's sudden death, Julie and Roger Adams drifted apart -- until a successful adoption helped them heal. This time it was Grant's turn to be nominated for an Oscar; this partnership was always fair.
7. Though our love didn't always pan out in our nine films together, it took us through time and space. We first met in 17th-century Jamaica; we lived a while in 19th-century India. Next we were in England in the time of Richard the Lionheart, followed by a rare foray into our own golden age: the 1930s. A string of westerns was interrupted by a spell of Tudor intrigue and followed by a musical fundraiser for World War II. We wooed each other in ruffles and bonnets, doublets and uniforms. Who are we?

Answer: Olivia de Havilland and Errol Flynn

De Havilland was one of the few women in Flynn's life with whom he was not romantically linked, but they set the silver screen on fire! Their first collaboration was "Captain Blood" (1935), a tale of rebellion, slavery, and piracy in the colonial Caribbean. In 1936, they wandered India and the Crimea in a Hollywood take on "The Charge of the Light Brigade"; their most famous collaboration came two years later, in 1938's "The Adventures of Robin Hood". (Naturally, they starred as Robin Hood and Maid Marian.) Flynn wound up with a different girl in the 1938 comedy "Four's a Crowd," but the two were united again by the end of the 1939 western "Dodge City." Their roles in a Tudor love triangle led to tragedy in the 1939 drama "The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex"; in their next two westerns, "Santa Fe Trail" (1940) and "They Died with Their Boots On" (1941), there were deaths aplenty, but it was historical accuracy that suffered the most.

In their last appearance together, they had bit parts as themselves in 1943's "Thank Your Lucky Stars," singing and dancing along with other Hollywood stars to raise more than two million dollars for servicemen. What a match they were: nine movies together in only eight years!
8. We're beginning to feel like poster children for historical, doomed love. First it was 1912, and we met on a luxurious ocean liner, falling in love despite our differences in social station. Wouldn't you know it? The ship sank! We had a second chance in 1955, but our strict suburban environment killed our free-spirited love, and our arguments were horrible. Who are we?

Answer: Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio

"Titanic" (1997) marked Winslet's and DiCaprio's first onscreen pairing, and it was a huge success. The tale of star-crossed love between upper-class Rose DeWitt Bukater and drifter Jack Dawson, each with doomed dreams of a new life in America, smashed box office records and secured its lead actors' places in the Hollywood pantheon.

The two didn't work together again for another decade, until 2008's "Revolutionary Road" explored the struggles of Frank and April Wheeler to find personal happiness while meeting society's expectations. Each movie climaxed in the premature death of one of the lovers; life can be hard, even when your life is a movie.
9. "You know how to whistle, don't you?" We first fell in love on the island of Martinique, as a fisherman and a pickpocket brought together when war turned the world upside-down. Next, we found each other in the course of a murder investigation, as a private eye and a suspect's sister. Yet another murder restored us to each other, when one of us sheltered the other, an escaped con looking for the real killer. Our last on-screen courtship was as violent as the others: this time, we faced an invasion of gangsters. Who are we?

Answer: Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart

Bacall and Bogart first met while filming "To Have and Have Not" (1944). She was 19, he was 45 and unhappily married, and their chemistry was palpable. Their characters, pickpocket Marie "Slim" Browning and boat captain Harry "Steve" Morgan, captivated audiences; the actors captivated each other. They were married by the time their film noir collaboration "The Big Sleep" was released in 1946; as Philip Marlowe, Bogart nearly had more than he could handle when he agreed to help Vivian Rutledge (Bacall)'s father.

The pair wrapped up the decade with two more crime movies. In 1947's "Dark Passage," Bacall's Irene Jansen helped Bogart's Vincent Parry as he looked for the man who had really killed his wife. And in "Key Largo" (1948), the help went the other way: Frank McCloud killed a passel of gangsters to keep Nora Temple and her family safe. Bogart was dead not ten years later, but he and his wife made a lasting contribution to movie romance.
10. We danced our way across the screen in ten movies, sometimes as the leads and sometimes as supporting players. Whether we were dancers, comedians, or big band members, the plots were an afterthought: the romance was always in our footwork. We didn't even kiss until our eighth picture! Who are we?

Answer: Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire

The dance partnership of Astaire and Rogers has gone down in history as one of film's greatest collaborations. Astaire did most of the choreography, and Rogers did most of the acting, but it was the dancing that kept audiences coming back despite the thin plots.

Themes of love, comically and temporarily thwarted, united all their works: "Flying Down to Rio" (1933), "The Gay Divorcee" (1934), "Roberta" (1935), "Top Hat" (1935), "Follow the Fleet" (1936), "Swing Time" (1936), "Shall We Dance" (1937), "Carefree" (1938), "The Story of Vernon and Irene Castle" (1939), and "The Barkleys of Broadway" (1949).

Their first kiss, in "Carefree," was slow and intense; Astaire said this was "to make up for all the kisses I had not given Ginger for all those years."
