Martha Plimpton Has Had a Fascinating Dating Life Which Included River Phoenix

Martha's rise to stardom was not without some fascinating glimpses into her dating life. Her last known relationships were with the late actor River Phoenix, comedian-actor Fred Armisen, and a man named Tom.

The actress's happiness now revolves around her independence.

Martha and River, who dated from 1986 to 1989, were renowned as one of the most captivating and "coolest" couples, earning a reputation for their striking presence at the 1989 Academy Awards.

However, since River's tragic death in 1993, she has not publicly discussed him. She said one primary reason was that if she were to talk about it, people would focus solely on that, overshadowing everything else she said.

She emphasized that she has a "rich and full life" and does not need to repeat herself or defend her past feelings. She chooses to let the matter rest. Martha and Fred reportedly dated, although their dating timeline was uncertain.

Fred and Martha were notably seen together at events such as the "Saturday Night Live" after party and the preview screening of the second season of the "Huff" series, all of which occurred in New York City.
