75 Years of Hollywood Love: A Rule-Free Recipe for a Lasting Marriage
William Daniels (99) and Bonnie Bartlett (96) are approaching 75 years of marriage and say their secret isn’t written rules but living their lives openly: there have been moments of attraction to others, but they never sat down to set boundaries and instead let family, careers, and daily life keep them connected. They met in college, faced the loss of their first son, adopted two boys, and balanced acclaimed work (two Emmys for St. Elsewhere) with on-screen collaborations as a couple.
