Clark Gable and Carole Lombard should be much higher than No. 7 they were Hollywood's IT couple before blessed Carole was killed. This was one of Hollywood's most celebrated couples, The world were in love with Clark and Carole and the world mourned alongside Clark for Carole, I must correct you Clark and Carole were not a secret for long, In fact within 4 months they were a public couple long before his divorce was final, In fact they were inseparable, There was a infamous article in Photoplay Magazine titled Hollywood's Unmarried Husband's and Wives and the majority of the article was on Clark and Carole, When the article shifted to them the first words were To the outside world Clark Gable and Carole Lombard might as well be married. Clark lived and additional 19 years and yet Ma & Pa as they affectionately called one another rest next to each other until the end of time.
P. s. Kay Gable is such a swell sport, I'm glad she's close by her husband.

Humphery and Lauren are far by one of my all-time-favorite Classic Hollywood Couples, next to Lucy and Desi and maybe, Richard and Elizabeth. To be honest, I believe that although Richard and Elizabeth were definitely iconic and a pretty great match, chemistry-wise, they were to me, second-best, when it comes to Humphery and Lauren's on/off-screen romance. Plus, they were the true definition of 'a product of loveliness'', both aesthetic-wise and saying 'heart wants what it wants'-wise. Also, they kinda basically were the Robin Hood and Lady Marian of their time.

I think this is a good list.
Hepburn & Tracy remain my favorite classic film couple. You don't spend 25 years with someone just to be reduced to being beards for each other by someone looking to make a quick dollar without the star being alive to vouch.
Bogie & Bacall follow second. I honestly believe that Bacall loved Bogie, even after marrying Jason Robards, and loved him until her passing in 2014.

I generally agree with this list but for Spencer Tracy and Sidney Poitier. Tracy was a user. There is nothing honorable about his behavior. And if Poitier asked for Ms. Carroll to leave her daughter for a year to be with him, he's totally bonkers. You don't ask a mother to do such a thing! I think Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft and Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee should be there in their stead.

Love this list! A few other mentions I'll add: Judy Garland & Vincente Minnelli (would go on to be parents of Liza Minnelli, Frank Sinatra (again) & Mia Farrow and Bob Hope & Dolores Hope (their whopping 69 years of marriage is still a Hollywood record that no one will ever beat.

My favorites definitely are Anne Bancroft and Mel Brooks. I was surprised at first when I watched Be Kind Rewind's video on her and found out that she was also the wife of Mel Brooks. Just like Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, their relationship lasted until the day Anne died

I love watching videos about classic Hollywood. Can you guys do a list of top 100 classic Hollywood movies of all time? But u need to fix the previous list u guys recently made of the top 10. It's a Wonderful Life is a top 5 contender, not an honorable mention.

Desilu Studios took a chance on a project by Gene Roddenberry called Star Trek. So although Lucille Ball and Desi Arnez's marriage didn't last, their relationship helped create one of the greatest science fiction franchises of all time.

We took a trou of Hearst Castle, where we were taken to one of its towers where Gable and Lombard spent their honeymoon. It was such a romantic venue that they must have really enjoyed their first married days together.

Hepburn's tears during Tracy's final speech were all too real, since he was declaring his real life love to her, and their decades long love affair. Sadly, Tracy passed away five months before the film was released.

I think top 15 would have covered the couples pointed out by commenters, like Ozzie Davis and Ruby Dee, Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft (although would they have been considered old Hollywood.

Spencer Tracy wouldn't divorce his wife because of his Catholic faith, but went on to have extramarital affairs with Hepburn and Gene Tierney.
Hypocrite much?

Curtis and Leigh may not had a long relationship, but they are both talented actors and they ought to be proud that their daughter Jamie Lee won an Oscar.

Can we stop with the lie that Ball & Arnaz were an interracial couple? Cuban is a nationality, not a race & his background was clearly European.
