The glamorous life of red carpet events, fame, fortune and wanting to win that little gold man named Oscar comes with a price. It seems when ever something good happens, something bad it not far behind.
The first of the curse was Janet Gaynor in 1929. She won the very first Academy Award for Best Actress award in 1929 and four years latter she and her husband divorced. In more recent times, many of the Best Actress winners’ marriages have ended in divorce. Halle Berry won back in 2002 for her performance in “Monster’s Ball” several months latter she was divorced. In 2006, Reese Witherspoon won the Oscar for “Walk the Line;” by 2007, she was divorced from Ryan Phillippe. Hillary Swank, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman are just some of the A-list ladies to have the Oscar curse.
The most recent lady bitten by the curse is our very own Miss Congeniality, Sandra Bullock. She won the best actress award March 7 for her performance in “The Blind Side,” and 10 days latter it was reported that she had moved out the house that she lived with husband, Jesse James. James is rumored to have cheated on Bullock, or so says the reported mistress, Michelle “Bombshell” McGee.
Sandra was indeed blind sided by her husband’s cheating ways, but then again what do you expect when the mistress was at one time, among other less savory professions, a stripper? Nevertheless, it seems that husbands of Best Actresses don’t like sitting on the bench while their leading lady is the one scoring the touchdowns.
