Taurus Dog and Aquarius Dog

George Lucas (5/14/1944, Taurus Monkey), John Williams (2/8/1932, Aquarius Monkey) : The composer and film director/producer shared one of the most iconic collaborations of all time in the Star Wars movies. In a recent interview, Williams remembered that Lucas originally wanted to use pre-existing classical music for the film, but Williams convinced him to use original music that could be manipulated to suit the drama. Contacted for comment, Lucas' representative responded that the director "never intended to use extant music in the film."

Dennis Hopper (5/17/1936, Taurus Rat), Rip Torn (2/6/1931, Aquarius Horse) : The actor and actor/director were famously in discussions in 1969 for Torn to appear in the Hopper-directed film, Easy Rider. Years later, Hopper accused Torn of pulling a knife on him over a dinner, to which Torn responded that it was Hopper who had pulled the knife on him. Torn sued Hopper for slander, and in 1998 won almost $1 million in damages.

Robert Zemeckis described in 2018: "We are very supportive of each other when it comes to our individual endeavors and our endeavors together. We understand the ebb and flow of our careers and sometimes one person’s project takes priority over the other. It’s important to have individual, outside interests to fulfill oneself so as not to become dependent on the relationship for fulfillment."

Shirley MacLaine (4/24/1934, Taurus Dog), Steve Parker (2/6/1922, Aquarius Dog) : The actor and film producer were married from 1954 to 1982 and had a daughter together. Describing their unorthodox relationship, Maclaine has said: "I guess you would say 'practiced an open marriage' in 1954, which was another lifetime. No one understood it. We did. He lived in Japan basically, I lived in America working, and this and that. We'd meet up, always great friends, traveled sometimes together."

Valerie Bertinelli (4/23/1960, Taurus Rat), Eddie Van Halen (1/26/1955, Aquarius Sheep) : The musician/founding member of the band Van Halen and actor were married from 1981 to 2007 and had one child (Wolfgang Van Halen) together.

We couldn’t live with each other, but we found it impossible to live completely apart."

Cate Blanchett (5/14/1969, Taurus Rooster), Andrew Upton (2/1/1966, Aquarius Horse) : The actor and playwright have been married since 1997 and have four children together. Blanchett has described their courtship with characteristic irony: "I cooked him the worst meal. I somehow decided that to stuff a trout with walnuts and goat’s cheese would be a good idea. He ate it and then he asked me to marry him, so clearly he was, I don’t know, hallucinating."

Melania Trump (4/26/1970, Taurus Dog), Donald Trump (6/14/1946, Gemini Dog) : The 45th US President and First Lady married in 2005 and have one child. Speaking at the time of their engagement in 2004, Donald Trump said: "We're together five years, and these five years for whatever reasons have been my most successful. I have to imagine [Melania] had something to do with that."

Joanna Lumley (5/1/1946, Taurus Dog), Jennifer Saunders (7/6/1958, Cancer Dog) : The actor/comedian/screenwriter and actor/author/model formed a strong friendship, and showed memorable chemistry, when they collaborated on the TV show, Absolutely Fabulous (1992-2012). Saunders has said: "I think what happened was that we got on and we just had such a good laugh." Lumley has described: "[Saunders] spent more time shopping for cast presents than she did on rehearsing...[She is] [e]asily one of my favourite people of all time."

Judy Garland (6/10/1922, Gemini Dog), Liza Minnelli (3/12/1946, Pisces Dog) : The two actor/singers shared one of the most famous mother/daughter relationships in entertainment history. Minelli has described: "I remember Mama saying, 'Now don’t get upset because of the way they may compare you to me because you’re an entertainer too.' I said, 'Oh, I won’t.' And then she reads something where they compared me to her. She said, 'How dare they? You’re your own woman. Dammit! Can’t they see?' And she’d throw it down in the trash. She was wonderful and so overprotective. She tried saving us from any of the stuff that other people said, except the great stuff."

Gary Oldman (3/21/1958, Aries Dog), David Bowie (1/8/1947, Capricorn Dog) : The legendary musician and acclaimed actor were friends for over 25 years. In 1995, they recorded a duet of Bowie’s song, "You’ve Been Around", and in 2013, Oldman appeared in a controversial video for Bowie's single, "The Next Day". Oldman described in 2014: "We got on really well. [Bowie] comes from the same part of the world as I do. I didn’t want anything from him, he didn’t want anything from me...I see him less as 'David Bowie' and more as Dave from Brixton and I’m Gary from New Cross. I was a fan of his music and I still am. We’re just mates."

Susan Sarandon (10/4/1946, Libra Dog), Tim Robbins (10/16/1958, Libra Dog) : The two actors were romantic partners from 1988 until 2009, and had two children. The pair were much admired for the durability of their relationship as high-profile celebrities, especially given the 12-year age difference, and for their activism to promote liberal progressive views. Sarandon said during their time together: "I won't marry because I am too afraid of taking [Robbins] for granted or him taking me for granted – maybe it will be a good excuse for a party when I am 80."

Kate Bush (7/30/1958, Leo Dog), David Gilmour (3/6/1946, Pisces Dog) : The two musicians shared a close connection early in Bush's singing career, when the Pink Floyd guitarist discovered Bush as a fifteen-year-old. Gilmour has described: "[Bush's] unusual vocal style and sound, I thought it was unlikely that record companies, A&R people would get it...So, after some various tryouts, I decided to employ a full studio in London...I chose two or three songs out of about 50 that she had, and I didn’t spend a long time choosing, I just sort of thought we’ll have one nice slow one, one sort of medium temperature, one like this… we’ll do those to releasable level so that they weren’t demos, so that they were actually properly ready-to-go tracks. I thought that was the best way to take her to the record companies to convince them."

Lil Wayne (9/27/1982, Libra Dog), Nicki Minaj (12/8/1982, Sagittarius Dog) : The two rap legends share a longstanding close and mentoring friendship. Wayne is credited with having discovered Minaj, after he signed her to his Young Money Entertainment label early in her career. Minaj has described: "Because [Wayne] works so [expletive] hard, he shows me that no matter how hot you think you are, you can’t stop. You have to keep that chokehold on the game because there’s always somebody itching and ready to take your spot. He works like it’s his first day on the job and I love that about him."
