Sam Shepard & Jessica Lange

Sam Shepard and Jessica Lange met on the set of Frances. From the making of that movie, the two became a couple and shared the next three decades together. They started dating in 1982, and although they were never married, they lived together as a family. They had two kids together, and soon, their relationship and their family became one of the most ideal ones in Hollywood.

Although they were both very famous people, they kept their private lives to themselves. That’s why it was such a shock when they announced their breakup in 2009. Even though it was a hard time, they still said nothing but good things about each other. When Sam died in 2017, Jessica expressed her sadness over the news. She recognized the degree of impact that he left in her and their kids’ lives. She spoke very kindly of him through the great loss.
