A NEW BOOK EXPLORES THE LEGENDARY ACTORS’ PASSIONATE AND TUMULTUOUS 20-YEAR MARRIAGE

Vivien's words would come true, of course. In his new book, Galloway traces the legends' epic 20year love story from its smoldering start to its bittersweet finish. “It's tragic because her life and their marriage were really ruined by her bipolar disorder, an illness that nobody could understand, let alone cure, back then, he tells Closer.
