Celebrity Couples Who Have Been Together for 50 Years (Or Longer!)

Martin and Janet have been married since 1961, going on to welcome four children. Two of their sons, Charlie Sheen and Emilio Estevez, have followed in their father’s acting footsteps.

After celebrating their 54th anniversary in 2016, Martin opened up to Closer about how Janet “saved” him during his past heart attack. (Martin suffered a heart attack at the age of 37 while filming 1979’s Apocalypse Now, a notoriously plagued production.)

“There was a struggle to get me to a hospital because we were in a remote area of the jungle. My wife, Janet, was running down the corridor, and I was on a gurney being wheeled in, and I looked up and saw her face,” Martin recalled. “She leaned down and whispered, ‘It’s only a movie, babe. Please, it’s only a movie!’”

He added, “It was very serious, and she handled it like a pro. She had me laughing in the most dire circumstances. She said, ‘Don’t take yourself so seriously.’”

According to Martin, they didn’t make a big fuss of their anniversary because “every day is a celebration with this dame.”
