Take the movie star Jeff Bridges, who is 72 years old.
A new thing in Hollywood is an actress. He got married to Susan in 1977, and she has always been very important to him.
And Jeff Bridges says that his wedding keeps getting better after 45 years of marriage.
Bridges has been one of the most famous and longest-running stars in Hollywood for a long time. He got his big break in the 1970s. He was nominated for an Oscar for his parts in The Last Picture Show and Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, both of which were directed by Clint Eastwood.
Later, films like King Kong and Tron made him famous, and his roles in Starman and The Fisher King were praised. In the cult movie The Big Lebowski, which became a fan favourite and had its own theory, he played “The Dude” in 1998. This was his most well-known part, and a lot of White Russians were ordered in bars because of it.
In 1975, the experienced actor met his wife, Susan Geston, on the set of the western comedy Rancho Deluxe. Susan worked as a waitress at a ranch near Chico Hot Spring, where a hot bath scene was filmed.
Jeff Bridges wrote in 2014 that he saw this girl in a hot tub at Chico Hot Springs while they were shooting a scene. He couldn’t help but look at her all the time. He found out later that she was pretty and had a broken nose and two black eyes from a car accident. Something about how beautiful and ugly she was made him fall in love with her.
To win Susan’s love, Jeff would have to work hard. Jeff once asked the pretty waitress out on a date after work, but she turned him down.
He asked again after a few days, but the answer was the same. On the other hand, Susan gave him hope when she said, “It’s a small town; maybe they’ll see each other later.”
After waiting for a long time, they finally met on their night off.
The waitress and Bridges hit it off after a night of dancing, and it wasn’t long before she packed up her things and moved to California with him.
Bridges was nervous about making such a big commitment, even though Geston wanted to get married.
Bridges told Geston in 1977 that if they didn’t get married, she would leave him. Bridges knew that he would always regret letting go of his love.
Jeff said, “Oh, God, I just can’t let this woman go.” He thought of an old person saying, “Gosh, why didn’t he marry that girl from Montana?”
So, he asked her to marry him. A few days later, they got married.
Bridges and Geston are still very much in love after 45 years. They have learned a lot about how to talk to each other and stick together when things get hard. The girls are all grown up now, and they have one grandchild.
On December 8, 2009, in Beverly Hills, California, actor Jeff Bridges’ wife Susan Bridges and their daughter arrived at the Los Angeles Premiere of “Crazy Heart” at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Isabelle, their eldest daughter, was born in 1981. The other two girls were born in the years 1985 and 1983. Haley and Jessica are their names.
Bridges said that he still loves his wife as much as he did when he first saw her waiting tables.
Bridges also said that a person thinks all doors are closed until they get married, which is true. But when you get married, you open a door that goes to a hallway full of wonderful doors: children, deeper connections, new experiences, and so on.
There will always be problems when two people work together. Bridges and his wife, on the other hand, know how to get through hard times together, so they often talk freely and honestly.
Bridges said that you can’t get the fullness of a long-term relationship if you change partners every time things get hard or you don’t feel like you’re getting what you want.
Also, they are very different as people, but they are proud of their differences and don’t let them cause problems between them. He likes how smart she is, and he’s sure that his girls feel the same way. He thinks he has been very lucky.
Bridges thinks that his marriage is getting better after 45 years. He told her, “What they don’t tell you about marriage is that everything just gets better.”
This beautiful story gives everyone hope for love and relationships that last.
