Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford, The Taming of the Shrew, 1929.
The original Hollywood “It” couple, Fairbanks and Pickford were silent-film stars turned real-life spouses, whose estate paid homage to their two-as-one reputation: Pickfair was the social nexus of 1920s and 30s Hollywood.

Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh, Gone with the Wind, 1939.
American classic in which a manipulative woman (Leigh) and a roguish man (Gable) carry on a turbulent love affair in the American south during the Civil War and Reconstruction. Gable’s portrayal of Rhett Butler is the most romantic, charismatic male character ever in films. His chemistry with raven-haired, fiery Vivien Leigh was infallible.

Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, Casablanca, 1942.
Everyone in this film is fabulous, but it is the chemistry of Rick (Bogart) and Ilsa (Bergman) been truly holds the film together. Perfect casting of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman delivered what for many are their finest performances as the chemistry between them flies off of the screen.

George Peppard and Audrey Hepburn, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, 1961.
She was a yokel gone uptown; he was bland blond arm-candy for a ritzy Upper East Side dowager. Theirs was a hedonistic romance—together, Hepburn and Peppard swan around the city in fabulous clothes, writing in library books, and slurping down mid-morning cocktails at swish cafés. When he declares his love in the back of a cab, she says, “So what?” His retort: “So plenty!”
