What happens when the king of cool is paired with a stunning leading lady? Better ask Steve McQueen and Jacqueline Bisset who created headlines for being an item while they were filming the thriller movie, “Bullitt.” The rumors were not surprising at the time, considering McQueen’s reputation for womanizing.
Even McQueen’s wife (yep, he was married) adored Bisset’s beauty, commenting that she was the most beautiful leading lady her husband ever had. Bisset set the record straight by saying, “no, we did not have an affair. People write things and have done for many years. Yes, he was handsome, friendly and nice and there was a little bit of teasing, but nothing happened.”
May Britt And Sammy Davis. Jr, On Their Wedding Day
Photographed here are the beautiful newlyweds, actor, and singer Sammy Davis Jr. and actress May Britt. The couple first met in 1959, dated and got married within less than a year; to be exact, they tied the knot on November 13, 1960. Did you know that the wedding had a spark of controversy?
Rumors were rife at the time that Robert F. Kennedy and John F. Kennedy instructed Frank Sinatra to tell Davis to schedule his marriage with Britt after the 1960 Presidential election as interracial marriage was forbidden by the law in most states of America during that time. While they were game-changers in this sense, and important ones at that, after eight years of marriage, Britt filed for divorce after learning that her husband was cheating on her. They had three children together.

The Late Hugh Hefner With Girlfriend, Model Barbi Benton
Taken in 1970, this portrait of Playboy founder, Hugh Hefner, and his longtime love, Barbi Benton, shows one of their sweet and happy moments. The oddly hot couple met in 1968 during the set of his TV show, Playboy After Dark. Barbi was 18 then and pursuing her college degree, while Hugh was 42 years old and had already established a stable career.
The huge age gap was the main reason why the young Barbi was uninterested in staying with Hugh long-term. Not to mention that she was in a relationship at the time. But with Hugh’s persistence, the two became a coupe and traveled to many countries together. Due to his infidelity, Barbi moved out from the Playboy mansion three times. Obviously, their relationship wasn’t for keeps.
