1. They neglected to mention that it is Tom Hanks's second marriage. 2. Rhea Pearlman filed for divorce last year but took it back later. 3. Michael Douglas & Catherine Zeta-Jones? Really? Maybe not for much longer. 4. Scientology marriages don't count. (I'm sure Cap'n Bob will back me up on that.) 5. I think there should be a 25 year minimum to make the list.
OK, as is my usual method I looked up celebrities who have passed the 25 year criterion. In fact all of these have been married (some are second marriages) at least 30 years. They are arranged by year of marriage:
Eva Marie Saint 1951 Kirk Douglas 1954 Ann-Margret 1967 Michsel Caine 1973 Jane Alexander 1975 Sidney Poitier 1976 Dustin Hoffman 1980 Ringo Starr 1981 James Earl Jones 1982 Keith Richards 1983
I thought Ann-Margaret's husband passed away some time ago--but I could be wrong. Also I think Meryl Streep and her husband have been married for quite a long time. I agree with the 25 year threshold. The one that quite surprises me is Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest--30 years.
He has been married to Ann-Margret since May 8, 1967. He became her manager, but is now semi-retired because of myasthenia gravis.
One more - Zsa Zsa Gabor is on her ninth husband (whether she is still awarre of it or not is open to question) and has been married to him since 1986, over the 25 years. She turn 97 on February 6.

I wondered about a couple of those, too.
