In true 70s fashion, actress Diana Rigg and artist Menachem Gueffen pose for a photo in Heathrow Airport before flying off to their honeymoon in Los Angeles, California. They got married in 1973. But ultimately, the marriage was not meant to last and the two went their separate ways three years later.
At the time of their marriage, Diana was a renowned British actress known for her work in the classic television series “The Avengers.” Later on in life, she would go on to have a recurring role in HBO’s “Game of Thrones” as Olenna Tyrell. Menachem was an Israeli-born painter who illustrated numerous books, including the translated-to-Hebrew version of “Robinson Crusoe.”
Josephine Baker and Jo Bouillon
Josephine Baker made history when she became the first African American woman to appear in a major motion picture in 1927. Apart from her talents as an actress, Baker was also a beautiful dancer. This American-born French performer married orchestra chief Jo Bouillon all the way back in 1937.
For their honeymoon, the young couple went to Buenos Aires, Argentina, after a fairytale wedding in a small French village. And let's face it, BA is basically the Paris of South America - so they kept things classy. Above, we see the couple posing and Baker giving the camera a huge smile while dining with her hubby at an Argentinian luxury hotel.
Ann Miller and William Moss
Never has there been a more festive and joyful photo than that of Ann Miller and William Moss celebrating at the Trevi Fountain in Rome on their honeymoon in 1959. The American actress and the wealthy oilman got married in 1958 and jetted off to Italy for their romantic vacation.
Miller rose to fame for starring in Hollywood musicals during the 1940s and 50s, and even though her marriage to Moss only lasted three years, the newlyweds certainly seemed happy on their honeymoon! As you can see, the couple were throwing pennies behind their shoulders to make some wishes upon their holy matrimony.

Above, we see the happy newlyweds returning from a romantic honeymoon in 1984. French and Henry stayed together for 26 long years and had a child together. These two also went on to produce some of Britain's most beloved comedic moments.

Foster, on his part, was an accomplished American composer and arranger who worked with artists of the topmost caliber like Barbra Streisand and Michael Jackson. Foster was her second husband, and unfortunately, their union only lasted four years. But based on this photo alone, it looks like the newlyweds were pretty excited to get their marriage started.
