In 1948, Lana Turner and Henry J. “Bob” Topping tied the knot — and what better way to kick off their blissful union than with a dream honeymoon? The newlyweds flew off on an exotic trip around the world, with stops in London, Madrid, Rome, and Paris. Below we can see the gleaming couple arriving in London.
Turner was already a bonafide Hollywood star before her marriage to Topping, having appeared in films such as “Ziegfeld Girl” and “The Postman Always Rings Twice.” Meanwhile, Topping had made his fortune as president of the American League’s New York Yankees from 1945 until 1947.
Mick and Bianca Jagger
We would expect nothing less from the legendary Rolling Stones rockstar than to have an epic honeymoon. Mick Jagger married Nicaraguan activist and model Bianca in 1971, and while they may have had a tumultuous relationship, that didn't stop the happy couple from jetting off to Venice for an unforgettable honeymoon.
The English singer and the former fashion model and activist wed after just one year of dating, with Mick famously saying: "I think it's time I got married. I'm getting old!" They might not have been your classic fairytale couple, but they certainly looked like they were having fun while enjoying the gondolas in Venice.
Liza Minnelli and Jack Haley Jr.
One of Hollywood’s most glamorous newlyweds, actress Liza Minelli and Jack Haley Jr. got married all the way back in 1974. After a few weeks, they embarked on a romantic honeymoon to London, where the loving photo below was taken. Just look at them. They look so snug and comfortable all cuddled up on that huge sofa.
As it turns out, Liza’s mother, Judy Garland, and Jack’s father, Jack Haley, appeared in 1939’s “The Wizard of Oz” together. She played Dorothy, and he played the Tin Man. Now talk about keeping it in the family. Liza and Jack stayed together until 1979.
Rocio Durcal and Antonio "Junior" Morales Barretto
Rocio Durcal and Antonio "Junior" Morales Barretto had the trip of a lifetime when they decided to honeymoon in Paris in 1970. Rocio was only 21 but already a well-known singer in both Latin America and Spain. Antonio, her husband, was known as a songwriter, producer, and guitarist who wrote some of Rocio's most beloved songs.
Together they were two of the most successful musical couples of their era, so why not celebrate with a fairytale wedding in Paris? Above, we see the young lovebirds taking in the sights with a beautiful backdrop of the Arc du Triomphe. If that doesn't set the tone for your marriage, we don't know what will.
Tyrone Power and Linda Christian
After tying the knot in the beautiful church of Santa Francesca Romana in Rome, Hollywood actors Linda Christian and Tyrone Power celebrated their honeymoon in Cervinia. In case you didn't know - this is the northwestern part of Italy and is a very popular winter location for tourists. Below we see the glamorous couple posing in front of a majestic snowcapped mountain.
The handsome actor and his gorgeous Mexican movie-star bride had met whilst filming the Technicolor epic “Captain from Castile” in 1947 and fell for each other almost instantly. They stayed together up until 1956 and had two children.
