Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen

They say that complimenting your wife is one secret for a marriage to last. Ted Danson, no doubt knows this well, and is quite generous with giving praise to his wife of more than 25 years, Mary Steenburgen. He said that if he could be a woman, he would want to be his wife, perhaps the most flattering compliments of all. To be fair, Steenburgen is no ordinary woman, as she was awarded an honorary doctorate degree from both Lyon College and Hendrix College.

The two met on the set of the movie Pontiac Moon in 1993 and, just two short years after, wed in 1995. They have been inseparable since then, even running script lines for each other. Danson is currently starring in Mr. Mayor, where he plays an elected mayor of Los Angeles who has to navigate the complex intricacies of politics. Steenburgen recently appeared in the film Happiest Season and has an upcoming film entitled Nightmare Alley.
