6. Jeff Bridges and Susan Geston

Jeff met his wife of 37 years while he was filming “Rancho Deluxe.” She was working as a waitress on a ranch at the time.

Now, about ten years later I get a letter from the makeup man on that picture, saying, ‘I was going through my files, and I have some pictures of you asking a local girl out. I thought you might be interested.’ And now I have two pictures — a close-up of her and a wide shot of me speaking the first words to my wife, and her answering my question in the negative.”

While Jeff doesn’t place his relationship in the public eye very often, he has said that it took only one week for him to fall in love with her.

“After she turned me down, I ran into Sue again at the film’s wrap party, and I asked her to dance. We danced together … She was so relaxed and easy to be with. She had a fun attitude, and I had a feeling of being at home — a soothing feeling of being where I belonged. When I got back to Los Angeles, I realized I had fallen in love with her in that week. It was shocking.

They were married on June 5, 1977, only five days after Jeff proposed. The couple has three children.

“What I didn’t count on with this whole marriage thing was that the passion, the sparks — it gets better! I was thinking it was going to go the other way, but it gets cooler and hotter all at the same time. I think one of the things about staying married is just not getting a divorce. To go through some of those difficult times and stay together, you’ve got to expand your concept of love. If you’ve been married a long time, you’re going to get tested.”
