I admire them so much because they are a couple of both equally iconic legends of their craft who are probably GOATS in their own lane. Each having 4 Oscars and winning their first on the same night.
On how they got together:
"I’d only brought one book to read to Austin, Texas, where we were filming, and I asked him if there was anything he’d recommend,” she said. “He brought me a box of James M. Cain and Raymond Chandler paperbacks, and I said, ‘Which one should I start with?’ And he said, The Postman Always Rings Twice.”
Adding, “I read it, and it was one of the sexiest fucking books I’ve ever read. A couple of nights later, I said, ‘Would you like to come over and discuss the book?’ That did it. He seduced me with literature. And then we discussed books and drank hot chocolate for several evenings. It was fucking hot. Keep it across the room for as long as you can—that’s a very important element"

Ex Coen brother? Did Joel and Ethan get divorced?
They give a vibe similar to Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest.
I envision them playfully giving each other shit, and having the internal fortitude to keep their eye on the prize, both individually and as a couple.
Successful long term marriages are not for whimps, you see/do/say some shit along the way.

When you can measure a relationship in oscars…
i love her!
The talented Coen couple
Blood Simple was her 1st film and she was afraid of emoting too much. She was perfect.
