#6: Lana Turner and Artie Shaw
One date was all it took for 19-year-old Lana Turner to run away with bandleader Artie Shaw. They went to Las Vegas in 1940, horrifying her bosses at MGM. Studio executives saw the impulsive move as a disaster for their rising star and immediately pressured gossip columnists to keep the story quiet. In the meantime, studio lawyers tried to get the erratic marriage annulled before the press ever found out.
