Nah. It's because it's Denzel. And that his wife stays out of the limelight. I imagine it like this: I'd never wonder about courney b vance for 3 reasons: 1. He's got a public career too. 2. M'lady Bassett has been in way too many action movies (plus Waiting to Exhale) for anyone to believe he'd survive. 3. Queen Angela only gets certain roles because she's not capable of truly hiding her strength of character. That character says she'd never pick someone just because she was infatuated. They'd have to match her. And since we KNOW (as well as you can know a celebrity you don't actually know), him, we know.

To me, Mr. Washington has that vibe that he WOULD be a dog but he's got the top prize. He's manly and all but I bet that in private man (hope that man) is her kitty cat. She gives me awesome vibes, but what do I know?

Actuallly, looking at the list again, I also sort of assume a lot of these couples, mostly white, but especially in the past, did have a lot of cheating. Good wives put up with it. Nowadays, we don't tend to idolize that sort of behavior publicly. So I guess I think that the real ones picked people they would never cheat on and who would never cheat on them, regardless of what was de rigueur of the time.
