Celebrity Divorces and Separations: Debra Messing and Daniel Zelman

According to various news reports, actress Debra Messing, star of the popular t.v. sitcom Will & Grace, separated earlier this year from her husband of ten years, Daniel Zelman.  The couple has one son.

This appears to be yet another example of a Hollywood couple which has quietly separated this year without immediately attracting media attention.

As you probably know, Ms. Messing has had a number of major acting roles and has also won an Emmy for her fine work.  I especially enjoyed her portrayal of Lisa Kramer in the Ben Stiller comedy, Along Came Polly.  You will recall that Messing's character cheated with the French scuba instructor, (played by actor Hank Azaria), while on a honeymoon with her (movie) husband, Reuben Feffer, (played by Stiller).

Hopefully, Ms. Messing (and her soon-to-be ex), will each continue to find happiness and success in their respective careers.

Celebrity Break Ups and Separations

Have you heard the news?  According to various reports, actor-playwright Sam Shepard and his long-time companion, award-winning actress, Jessica Lange, had split up approximately two years ago.  The talented couple had reportedly been together as a couple for nearly three decades before the break up.  Shepard will always be one of my favorite actors for his portrayal of Chuck Yaeger in The Right Stuff. 

One thing about this news report which most surprised me is that it took Hollywood's inquiring minds two years to learn about and report it!  You should check out all the amazing work done by these two fine actors, including Ms. Lange's incredible charitable efforts. 

Here's hoping that they both have moved on and found happiness.
