Like idk, if only we had a modern-day movie star similarly trained in dance/gymnastics who could recreate this photo with his wife and their long dreamt-of “little girl” one day…

No way in hell am I letting Gene and Judy lose on my watch:

Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn (Woman of the Year, Desk Set, Adam's Rib)—They starred together in 9 movies as a romantic couple. The best-known are probably "Adam's Rib", "Woman of the Year", and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner". As far as hotness goes, Hepburn had a tendency to play fiercely independent firecrackers, which contrasted with Tracy's naturalistic, grounded reserve and empathy. I feel it's that contrast between the high drama and the effortless control that produced the sparks and chemistry between them. (I'm sorry if that sounds kind of stilted; I'm struggling to find a way to describe their rapport! Mostly I just want to gesture at them and say, "Well, LOOK!" But I know that, at this point, not a lot of folks will have seen them in action, together. Off-screen, they were in an incredibly devoted, 26-year relationship that lasted until his death.)

Judy Garland and Gene Kelly (The Pirate, Summer Stock)—Judy Garland and Gene Kelly!! Their chemistry was out of this world. Every time I see them onscreen together, they make me so happy...whether it's complicate showmance of For Me and My Gal, the out-of-this-world sexiness of The Pirate, or the slow-burn romance of Summer Stock, they will always be one of my favorite movie couples!

Hepburn and Tracy:

real life {and long kept secret) affair lead to a very charming and realistic on screen chemistry and great banter

HELLO?! IT'S HEPBURN AND TRACY!! Garson Kanin wrote an ENTIRE BOOK about them!! They bite each other's ears in Woman of the Year, and the censors did nothing about it!!

Kelly and Garland:

They were really good friends IRL, he made his film debut in For Me And My Gal and said she taught him all about movie acting, years later he did Summer Stock to support her during her struggles with MGM. We stan a mutually supportive pair. Honestly, name a hotter power couple than Classic Hollywood's greatest dancer and greatest singer, I'll wait.
