16. Jane Fonda and Roger Vadim, 1965

17. Mia Farrow and Frank Sinatra, 1966

Mia Farrow was just 21 when 50-year-old Frank Sinatra wooed her and asked her to marry him. The condition? She end her acting career. So the pair got married in a 15-minute ceremony at the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas (v. romantic). Farrow followed his lead for a time, but the opportunity to do Rosemary's Baby came along, and Farrow jumped at the chance. It was the right move for her, but it ended up leading to the demise of their marriage. The two remained friends until Sinatra's death.
