Hollywood's Shortest Marriages at a Glance
Hollywood is notoriously toxic when it comes to relationships and marriage. These celebrities have proved that the attention takes its toll and their marriages were extremely short.
Over the years, fans have watched more than one Hollywood couple fall apart. For some, it seems the walk down the aisle was the highlight of their time together.
While some had quickie marriages that were annulled just as quickly, others hosted lavish weddings only to get divorced shortly after. Here is a look at some of the shortest marriages in Hollywood history.
