One of the most dynamic and complicated couples in literary history, Zelda made Fitzgerald work for it: After years of being together, she agreed to marry him only after he sold his first novel, This Side of Paradise, in 1920. They were also two heavy-hitting style icons of the fringe- and flapper-filled Jazz Age.

The painter and photographer started living together while Stieglitz was still married, but they had an unbreakable bond and inspired one another artistically. They married in 1924, but eventually grew apart, quite literally—she didn’t want to be with him in New York, as the pull toward New Mexico and her work there was too strong to ignore.

Tracy remained married to his wife throughout his 25-year affair with the legendary, tailored suit–wearing actress Hepburn. They starred in nine movies together and were never married, instead living separately but continuing to see each other for years before he died in 1967.

Theirs was a classic Old Hollywood love story: Married in 1945, when she was only 20 and he was 45, they met on set and were together until his death in 1957. They lived glamorously together, and she became widely known as a symbol of all-American style.
