Not both actors - you could argue neither were - but the one that always surprises me is George Lazenby and Pam Shriver.

Trivia about that: They had first met in Rome in 1966, then a second time in '68 during Robert Kennedy's presidential campaign, but really got together around 1970 after Hamill read Maclaine's first book Don't Fall Off the Mountain and realized the two were both fans of the fictional character Bomba the Jungle Boy. Hamill tried to get her to move into his house in Brooklyn (a few doors up from where I live now), but Shirley didn't bite (Pete was also living with his two daughters at the time). Right around this time, 1970-1971, Maclaine appeared in the film Desperate Characters which was shot partially in Hamill's neighborhood, coincidentally or not. Shirley is credited with being the first woman served a drink at Farrell's Bar, one of Pete's old Brooklyn watering holes.

Was watching an Italian James Bond knockoff from the ‘60s in which French actor Jacques Bergerac (Gigi) played essentially the Dr. Evil character.
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.
