Christopher Plummer & Elaine Taylor – 49 years

Who could not remember Christopher Plummer’s iconic role as Christopher Von Trapp in the movie The Sound of Music? This was his most memorable role, but you got to give him credit for still being active at age 89 years old. He continues to make guest appearances on TV and film, too. His most recent appearance was in the 2019 show Departure.

For his personal life, Christopher married the actress Elaine Taylor in 1970. They met a year before they tied the knot when they had to film a movie together. Elaine had red hair during this time, which apparently was Christopher’s weakness – he is a sucker for redheads. It seems that age doesn’t matter for these two since their thirteen-year age gap never caused any conflicts or issues in their relationship. Their secret? Elaine and Christopher laugh together after every fight. He also shared that one key to a successful marriage is staying out of each other’s hair and giving each other enough space.
