For 59 years, Christopher Walken has remained in love with the same woman, and instead of having children, they have opted to keep cats, as per the headline.

Although Hollywood has given us many romantic stories, it doesn’t seem to be the place to meet the love of your life. Especially considering the high divorce rate among celebrity couples. But the protagonists of this story disprove the stereotype. Actor Christopher Walken and casting director Georgianne Walken met at work, got married and have been happy together for over half a century.

They met in theatre and got married 6 years later.

Christopher and Georgianne originally met on a West Side Story theater tour in 1963. The performers, who are also superb dancers, played a couple in the musical. They were so close while working together that they fell in love almost instantly. Georgianne admitted that she understood right away that Christopher was her one and only. They married six years later.

“When [I] met him, [I] knew he had a future. He was good and was [going to] be better. It was a very compelling idea, and I had never met anybody like that in my life.”

They support each other’s careers.

Georgianne opted to quit the performing scene after her marriage in search of more steady work. She wanted Christopher to be able to focus on his craft and pursue a career without having to worry about money. Georgianne quickly found success in show business again, this time behind the scenes as a casting director. She has now appeared in over 90 films and television shows, including The Sopranos, for which she received an Emmy Award.

Christopher’s career is also noteworthy. With over 100 films and television shows to his credit, he has won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in The Deer Hunter and a BAFTA for his work in Catch Me If You Can. Walken is devoted to his work, which impresses his wife. She previously stated that she enjoys being married to the actor, particularly while he is rehearsing for his parts.

“It’s very interesting being married to a man who is constantly playing a different person. You’re always living with a different person. He never tells me what part he’s playing when he’s getting ready. It just descends on me one day. Very interesting.”

They share household responsibilities equally.

The Walkens live a fairly simple life. When her husband is filming, Georgianne handles everything, including paying the bills and ensuring Christopher has enough money to cover his operating expenses. In turn, the husband prepares delicious lunches and dinners for his wife, especially during filming. He once admitted that he enjoys spending time in the kitchen learning a new script. At the same time, the actor cooks and memorizes lines.

“My life is really quite conservative. I’ve been married nearly 50 years. I don’t have hobbies or children. I don’t much care to travel. I’ve never had a big social life. I just stay at home, except when I go to work. So, in that sense, I’m a regular guy.”
