While Hollywood movies have given us so many love stories that are for the ages, most celebrity couples in real life are far from what we see on screen.
Divorce is not unheard of for most celebrities but there are of course, always exceptions to this rule. This is the story of legendary actor Christopher Walken and his wife Georgianne Walken, two people who have defied the odds.
Georgianne Walken was a casting director when she met Christopher Walken as they were working together. It was an instant connection that has lasted over half a century at this point.
The couple met in 1963 during a theatre tour of West Side Story. The two of them portrayed a couple for the production and slowly but surely fell for one another during the process. Georgianne recalls that she knew pretty soon that Christopher was the only man for her and the couple wed one another just a short six years after that.
“When [I] met him, [I] knew he had a future. He was good and was [going to] be better. It was a very compelling idea, and I had never met anybody like that in my life,” Georgianne said of their meeting.
She decided to get a stable job so Christopher could focus on acting without having to worry about money. Luckily, her job landed her in Hollywood once again, this time, however, she was behind the camera. She became a casting director and in this point of her career has about a 100 movies and shows under her belt. One of these shows include The Sopranos, which even led her to win an Emmy Award!
Christopher was also successful in his acting career. He has an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The Deer Hunter and a BAFTA for his role in Catch Me If You Can.
“It’s very interesting being married to a man who is constantly playing a different person. You’re always living with a different person. He never tells me what part he’s playing when he’s getting ready. It just descends on me one day. Very interesting,” Georgianne has said about her husband.
A 32-year-old woman was attacked by a polar bear after she jumped into their enclosure at the Berlin Zoo.
On Friday, while the polar bears at the Berlin Zoo were being fed, a 32-year-old woman went into their cage and was attacked by them.
She had been bitten several times before she was saved.
The woman, only known as Mandy K, had to scale a wall, a row of hedges, and a fence to get inside.
At the Berlin Zoo, while the bear was being fed, the woman sprang over the bars and hurt her back, arms, and legs.
One of the bears attacked the victim on the arms and legs several times, even though six zookeepers tried to distract the four predators.
The victim was saved by the zookeepers who were able to frighten off the bear.
After undergoing surgery to heal her wounds, the 32-year-old woman is currently recuperating in the hospital.
It was then revealed that she is a teacher who had become hopeless due to her inability to obtain employment.
