A lot of the '70s Match Game regulars had surprising spouses at one time or another:
Brett Somers => Jack KlugmanJoyce Bulifant => James McArthur ("Dano" of Hawaii Five-O)Richard Dawson => Diana Dors

These are all great, thanks!
Knew Klugman/Somers, had forgotten Reynolds/Carne, rest all new to me. Had being trying hard to remember Joyce Bulifant at all, but kept getting interference from Joyce Van Patten. Who, it turns out, was married to Martin Balsam for five years. As a bonus for this thread, this union produced a daughter, Talia Balsam, who was married to George Clooney for four years.

It's the combination of her dumb, ill-considered answers with the fact that she's clearly so full of herself. Dim and haughty and yeah, goo-goo eyes at everybody.
Caught her on Tattletales the other day and she bitched about not hearing a question because her rooting section was too noisy. Missing the question allowed another celeb to win the game, and at the end of the show she announced that she was going to "file a protest." So a sore loser as well

yep--meanwhile:Jack Fisk, who may well get another Oscar nom for his design of Killers of the Osage Moon, has been married to Sissy Spacek since 1974.They met
while working on Terrence Malick's 1973 film Badlands, where she portrayed the aloof and distant version of Caril Ann Fugate. They married on April 12, 1974. They have two daughters, Schuyler Fisk (born 1982), also an actress, and Madison Fisk (born 1988), a painter.
Fisk was art director on Brian De Palma's Carrie (1976), in which his wife, Sissy Spacek, played the title role. He frequently collaborates with directors Terrence Malick and David Lynch (whom he has known since childhood). His production design and art director credits include all of Malick's first eight feature films and Lynch's The Straight Story (1999) and Mulholland Drive (2001). He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Art Direction for Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood. He received his second Academy Award nomination for the film The Revenant at the 88th Academy Awards.[2]Fisk appeared in Lynch's Eraserhead (1977) as the Man in the Planet, and the film's credits give "special thanks" to him and to Sissy Spacek (who reputedly held the slates between takes).[citation needed]Fisk directed Spacek in the films Raggedy Man[3] and Violets Are Blue with Kevin Kline.[4]

So Jeanette MacDonald was happily married to an actor named Gene Raymond, although they never had any kids. He is totally lost to the sands of time for me, but seems to show up in the bios of other actors. For instance, he has twenty mentions in Victoria Wilson's monumental if partial Stanwyck bio, co-starring with her at least once and introducing her to her publicist Helen Ferguson, who was also his and Jeanette's publicist.

Didn’t know Bergerac was once married to Ginger Rogers. Not just that, but she “discovered” him and brought him to MGM.
Also didn’t know that Bergerac was subsequently married to Dorothy Malone.
