Great Screen Teams, Continued...

6) Fred Astaire may have had better dancing partners, and Ginger Rogers may have had better acting partners, but together they made millions happy in Depression-era America with their ostentatious displays of wit and charm. Here they are during a brief moment on terra firma in Roberta (1935).

7) After seeing Dennis Quaid and Ellen Barkin match lopsided grins in The Big Easy (1987), the only question that remains is: why haven't they reteamed? Perhaps now that she has freed herself from the tyranny of wealth...

8) Susan Sarandon may have met the true love of her life, Tim Robbins, on the set of Bull Durham (1988), but that didn't stop her from making cinematic magic with Kevin Costner. "Oh My!!!"

9) Never better than when they were together, Spencer Tracy and Katherine Hepburn reached their peak of sublimity when they went head to head as opposing counsel, married to each other, in Adam's Rib(1949).

10) To my mind, the most sophisticated and sexy of all screen teams were William Powell and Myrna Loy, who were first paired in The Thin Man (1934), based on the Dashiell Hammett novel of the same name. The film became such a success that a series of sequels were launched. Their dog, Asta, also had quite a fanbase.
