Frances McDormand and her husband Joel Coen are like Hollywood royalty. Their romance blossomed when she auditioned for the part of Abby in the Coen Brothers’ first feature movie, Blood Simple, in 1982. McDormand very nearly turned the part down, all because she wanted to be able to attend an event involving her then-boyfriend.

Thankfully, she changed her mind. Blood Simple kick-started her career and her love life. They married two years later and share one son and multiple hit movies, including Fargo. Their relationship works in many ways, not least because they’re both so incredibly creative and talented.
