Sidney Poitier & Joanna Shimkus – 43 years

The first actor to take credit for winning a Golden Globe and Academy Awards for Best Actor for the film Lillies on the Field is Sidney Poitier, who has made his mark in Hollywood history. He was previously married to Juanita Hardy, which lasted for 15 years. It was revealed later on that within the nine years of marriage, Sidney had an affair.

In 1976, he married actress, Joanna Shimkus. They have two beautiful daughters together, Anika and Sydney Tamiia, while Sidney already has four children from his previous marriage. He doesn’t act anymore, but he’s set to appear in the new documentary Scales of Injustice. With all his contributions to the industry, Sidney was given a standing ovation at the 86th Academy Awards. At the time, he was supposed to give Angelina Jolie the Best Director Award, but instead, Jolie thanked him for his wonderful work, saying all artists would be in his “debt.”
