Despite having different professional surnames, screen legends Olivia de Havilland and Joan Fontaine were actually sisters — though it’s safe to say that they weren't exactly close.

Warning: This post mentions domestic and child abuse.

Olivia is on the left, and Joan is on the right. 

She would later become dependent on diet pills at 15.

When she landed the role of Dorothy at 16, the starlet faced pressure from the studio to look as young as possible. She was put on a diet of "chicken soup, black coffee, 80 cigarettes, diet pills, and amphetamines."

Judy later died from an accidental barbiturate overdose at only 46 years old. 

Later on, Joan cut Christina and her younger brother Christopher from her will, citing "reasons which are well known to them." 

Joan also adopted two twin siblings, who disputed Christina's experiences. They said, “Different people in the family experience the parenting situation in different ways. Because the parenting situation is different towards them, and that’s a divide-and-conquer type of situation.”

It was widely rumored that Spencer, a devout Catholic, did not want to divorce his wife for religious reasons. Another rumor about the pair was that their relationship was to hide their sexuality. But either way, Katharine was there for Spencer until the end when he passed from a heart attack at the home they shared together in 1967. 

1. Her first husband was Conrad "Nicky" Hilton of the Hilton fortune. She was just 18 when they got married. She later wrote in her autobiography, Elizabeth Takes Off, that he "became sullen, angry and abusive, physically and mentally," leading to their divorce.

2. Then she married Michael Wilding, a British actor, who was 20 years her senior. They had two sons together, but divorced after five years of marriage. The two remained amicable, with Elizabeth telling People in 2006, "He was a wonderful father."

3. Her third marriage was to movie producer Mike Todd. Despite being 25 years her senior, she wrote in her autobiography, "God, I loved him. My self-esteem, my image, everything soared under his exuberant, loving care." They had one daughter together; their happiness was short-lived when he unexpectedly died in a plane crash in 1958.

4. A year later, Elizabeth made headlines when her romance with actor Eddie Fisher became public. The scandal stemmed from the fact that Eddie had been married to actor Debbie Reynolds, Elizabeth's friend, who was even the maid of honor at her wedding to Mike. They wed, then years later, while filming Cleopatra, Elizabeth fell for her co-star Richard Burton, leading to their divorce.

5. Elizabeth and Richard wed in 1964. It seemed to be a passionate marriage. People reported, "They were as known for their lavish lifestyle as they were for their fighting." It even earned the couple a nickname, "Battling Burtons." They later divorced in 1974.

6. In 1975, the two tried again, though this time their second marriage lasted less than a year. However, the pair always felt there would always be something between them. In Vanity Fair, Elizabeth once read a letter Richard wrote to her before he died, in which he said he'd been the "happiest" when they were together, and even wondered about another chance.

7. Her seventh marriage was with politician John Warner, who was later elected to the US Senate in 1979. (John acknowledged that her influence helped him be elected.) They wed in 1976 and divorced in 1982. Elizabeth told The New York Times in 2002, "We got along wonderfully until he decided to be a politician. And then he married the Senate."

8. Her final marriage was to Larry Fortensky in 1991. Larry was 20 years her junior, and the two had met in rehab at the Betty Ford Clinic. Their wedding was a lavish affair that took place at Michael Jackson's estate. They divorced in 1996, though reports say they were amicable and still kept in touch.

"To his credit, I will say that the crash changed him fundamentally. He became a much more compassionate person."   

Judy found out the truth when she was 23 — not by her mother, but by her fiancé, who told her it was an open secret around town. 

She was married Roberto for seven years and they had two more children, including actror and model Isabella Rossellini.
