Libra Dragon and Taurus Sheep

Harper Lee (4/28/1926, Taurus Horse), Truman Capote (9/30/1924, Libra Rat) : The celebrated authors were childhood friends and strongly influenced each other's work. Experts consider that, fulfilling a promise to each other, the character Dill in Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird is based on Capote, and the character Idabel in Capote's Other Voices, Other Rooms is based on Lee. Lee also carried out research for Capote's true-crime masterpiece, In Cold Blood, although it is thought that Lee was unhappy with Capote's scant acknowledgment of her work, which may have contributed to distance between them later in life.

Richard Donner (4/24/1930, Taurus Horse), Christopher Reeve (9/25/1952, Libra Dragon) : The director Donner memorably cast the then-unknown actor Reeves in 1978's smash-hit film Superman. Donner described: "I was brought up on Superman as a kid...When [Reeves] told his father, who was a professor at Princeton, that he was doing Superman, his father said, 'Man and Superman?' [George Bernard Shaw’s play]. That’s the world Chris came from. He came over, we did this test in costume...He was just wonderful as Clark Kent and as Superman. He really got the idea of a terribly pained individual living a dual life."

Audrey Hepburn (5/4/1929, Taurus Snake), Julie Andrews (10/1/1935, Libra Pig) : The two famous actors began their relationship embroiled in controversy. Andrews had starred in the Broadway production of My Fair Lady but was overlooked for the film role in favour of Hepburn (whose voice was overdubbed by Marni Nixon for the singing parts). At the 1965 Academy Awards, they became friends. Andrews later described: "[Hepburn said] Julie, you should have done it, but I didn't have the guts to turn it down. We were friends from then on. I don't think there was a soul who didn't love her...And my husband [Blake Edwards, who directed Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's] adored her too. I think I can honestly say if I hadn't come into his life, she might have."

Debra Winger (5/16/1955, Taurus Sheep), Arliss Howard (10/18/1954, Libra Horse) : The two actors have been married since 1996. They have one child together and each has a child from a previous relationship. Winger has described: "Nothing escapes change. So why do we think we could create such a permanent institution as marriage? It just seems inorganic if looked at that way. The intention is to stay awake, stay alive, keep loving, keep lit up, keep being able to light up the other one. Those are the real tricks. That and some pixie dust."

Burt Bacharach (5/12/1928, Taurus Dragon), Angie Dickinson (9/30/1931, Libra Sheep) : The two high-profile celebrities, actor and composer, were married from 1965 until 1980. They had one child together. Bacharach's 2013 autobiography, Anyone Who Had a Heart—which included lengthy passages written by Dickinson—described: "[T]o get the kind of adulation from a woman like [Angie] was really something. There was an intense physical attraction between us but I was also really in love with Angie. At the time, I think I was too insecure to believe that this gorgeous movie star could fall in love with me."

Reese Witherspoon (3/22/1976, Aries Dragon), Nicole Kidman (6/20/1967, Gemini Sheep) : The two actors are friends who co-starred in the successful series, Big Little Lies (2017-2019). Presenting Kidman with the Tribute Actress Award at the Gotham Awards in 2017, Witherspoon described: "[L]ast year, you guys, I was really lucky. I got the chance to work with [Kidman], finally. I managed also to coerce my line producer to make sure I was in the same makeup trailer with her at all times while she was getting ready so I could ask her anything I wanted to. She was captive for two hours and I asked her a lot of questions...I’ve worked in Hollywood for 25 years and I’ve never seen anyone transform so completely [into their role]...She gives you her whole heart, her whole soul, her whole body. Every side of a character. The light, the dark. She’s unwaveringly passionate. She gives of herself. She stands up for what she believes in and she pushes the envelope with every single role she takes. So there it is, now you know it. She’s a magician."

Carlos Moyá (8/27/1976, Virgo Dragon), Carolina Cerezuela (1/14/1980, Capricorn Sheep) : The professonal tennis player and Spanish actor married in 2011 and have three children together. Cerezuela has described: "For me, the success and wealth of my life has been having what I have always wanted, my family, and being able to dedicate myself to them...[Moya] is achieving wonderful professional successes, but he will tell you that his greatest achievement is always personal. He is very jealous of his privacy, very simple, you will never see him wanting to stand out or acknowledging merit. [translated from Spanish]"

Carice van Houten (9/5/1976, Virgo Dragon), Guy Pearce (10/5/1967, Libra Sheep) : The two actors have been in a relationship since around 2015. They have one child. The couple have avoided discussing their relationship publicly, but in 2016, Pearce posted photos of himself with van Houten and their child, with the caption: "Finally a nice quiet stroll out in the world."

James Coburn (8/31/1928, Virgo Dragon), Paula Murad Coburn (10/31/1955, Scorpio Sheep) : The two actors were married from 1993 until his death in 2002. Together they established the James and Paula Coburn Foundation, dedicated to improving the community through music, art and education. Speaking about their five-storey home in Beverley Hills, California, US, the designer Craig Wright said: "The house is a stage set. It's about their friends and the things they've found on their travels. It's the theater of their life."

Colin Farrell (5/31/1976, Gemini Dragon), Brendan Gleeson (3/29/1955, Aries Sheep) : The two Irish actors became good friends after they co-starred in the film, In Bruges (2008). They later collaborated in The Banshees of Inisherin (2022), with both being nominated for Academy Awards. In a joint interview, Farrell described about their first meeting: "I was sober about a year and a half or something like that...[Gleeson] said, 'Will you have a drink?’… and he went to a mini bar that looked like it hadn’t worked since the ‘50s and he opened it up and he pulled out two bottles of water and he went: ‘I have still or sparkling’. I swear to God, it was the sweetest thing. In that moment, the simplicity of that gesture told me, 'There’s a man that will look after you. There’s a man that will take care of you, there’s a man that considers people'." Gleeson said, "I’ve known a lot of kind men in my life, I’ve been lucky about that. My father was a kind man, and I knew kind friends who were there for you. I don’t find it odd but I knew immediately with [Farrell]. That’s why the friendship lasted. He’s somebody who considers people to an extraordinary degree."

Colin Friels (9/25/1952, Libra Dragon), Judy Davis (4/23/1955, Taurus Sheep) : The two Australian actors have been married since 1984 and have two children together. In 2018, Friels said, "I don't like to be sycophantic, but Judy's wonderful. She's great company, the best friend I've ever had. I love Jude. She's a bewdy."

Herbie Hancock (4/12/1940, Aries Dragon), Joni Mitchell (11/7/1943, Scorpio Sheep) : The two musicians are friends who collaborated on Mitchell's albums, Mingus (1979), and Both Sides Now (2000). Hancock's tribute album, River: The Joni Letters (2007), which comprised mostly Mitchell's compositions and to which she also contributed as a singer, was a surprise winner of the Grammy for Album of the Year in 2008. Mitchell described about their shared background: "We have the same problem from two different approaches. [Hancock] was going too far into pop and I was going too far into jazz. They accused him of commercialism and me like if you do that we're going to lose sales. [With the River album,] I guess Herbie found this challenging to do my music. Harmonically it's wide like jazz, so you got a lot of freedom for choice of notes ... but it's not within the laws of jazz." Hancock said: "[Mitchell] has the courage to express what she really feels and believes in. She's not afraid to openly voice her viewpoint on the crises of the era ... and she does it in such a beautiful and imaginative way. ... And so as a humanitarian, Joni Mitchell really reflects her belief in the dignity of human life and its relationship to our environment."

Courtney Love (7/9/1964, Cancer Dragon), Kurt Cobain (2/20/1967, Pisces Sheep) : The two celebrated rock musicians were famously married for almost two years before Cobain died in 1994. They had one child. In a 1992 interview, Love described: "[Cobain] thought I was too demanding, attention-wise. He thought I was obnoxious. I had to go out of my way to impress him."
