1958: Joan Crawford and Alfred Steele

Joan Crawford and Alfred Steele were the most powerful couple during 1958. Credits to their chemistry and interesting love story, they became the most celebrated couple for an entire year and then some. Joan was once the center of an article, which had the title saying something like all of the four men in her life who’ve left her.

This one’s different, though, since Alfred didn’t leave her by choice. When the two were still together, he was a very successful man in terms of being an entrepreneur. He was the actress’ fourth and final husband, and it made perfect sense at the time for them not to have the same career since Joan was probably looking for a non-showbiz man that time around. There’s no doubt that their love story was indeed one of the most-followed stories during their time.
