Hollywood offers us many romantic stories, but it doesn’t seem like the right place to meet the love of our life. This is especially true since the divorce rate for celebrity couples is high. The characters in this story, however, reject this stereotype.
Actor Christopher Walken and casting director Georgiana Walken met at work, got married and lived happily ever after for more than half a century.
They met at the theater and were married six years later.
Christopher and Georgianna first met in 1963 while touring West Side Story. The actors, who are also dancers, embody the couple in the show. While working together, they became close friends and eventually fell in love. Georgiana quickly realized that Christopher was the one and only for her. Six years later, they got married.
After their marriage, Georgiana decides to stop acting and look for a more stable job. She wanted Christopher to be able to focus on his art and his career without having to worry about money.
Eventually, she found success in show business again, but this time behind the scenes, as a casting director.
Christopher also has an impressive CV. He has won more than 100 film and television awards, including an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for The Deer Hunter and a BAFTA Award for Catch Me If You Can.
Walken is a workaholic and his wife likes him very much. She once said that she loved being an actor’s wife.
The Walkens lead a relatively simple life. When her husband is busy filming, Georgiana takes care of all the household chores, pays the bills, and makes sure Christopher has enough money to live on.
Between shoots, her husband prepares delicious lunches and dinners for his wife. He once confessed that he liked to spend time in the kitchen when he was writing a new screenplay. The actress cooks while learning her lines.
