One of the most famous screen teams of all times, appearing in a string of musicals that were big money makers for their studio.

There’s a small contingent of fans who insist that they were romantically involved as well and that they continued their clandestine affair all through their later marriages right up until one half of the team’s passing away. All of that couldn’t be further from the truth.
