Ted Danson & Mary Steenburgen

Ted Danson has had a long and illustrious career as a stand-up comedian. His roles on Cheers and The Good Place have solidified his reputation as a Hollywood great. Similarly, his personal life has been a massive hit over the past two decades or so. However, this wasn’t always the case, but he sure made investments towards his craft.

Ted and Mary have been married for nearly two decades, but when they first met on the set of Pontiac Moon in 1993, the future looked bleak. So, let’s say that neither of the stars expected any off-screen drama and no one expected to fall in love. But one scene changed their lives forever. They played a married couple and spent five hours filming a boat scene. Their encounter occurred at just the right moment, which may have seemed weird at first. While Danson’s first three relationships crumbled with time, he learned a crucial lesson from Steenburgen: true love grows stronger with age.
