Faye Dunaway and Peter Wolf, 1974

Peter Wolf and Faye Dunaway brought two worlds together when they said “I do” in 1974. Wolf, the lead singer of J. Geils Band shocked the world when he took the hand of critically acclaimed Hollywood star, Faye Dunaway. At the time, Faye was a rising star, and it seemed like she was just getting started.

The pair remained married for five years, divorcing in 1979 citing that neither wanted the responsibility of marriage and they weren’t ready for this kind of commitment. But it has been speculated that his career was fast waning. Most think the huge differences in pay and career trajectory of the two stars could not be reconciled, and the divorce followed.
