Celebrating 73 years of marriage, William Daniels and Bonnie Bartlett Daniels have accomplished a new milestone in their partnership. They have attained this milestone. On the other hand, despite the fact that they have the record for the longest-lasting marriage in Hollywood, the lifelong pair does not find it to be as significant.
At this point, it seems like we are shattering records. What I mean is that when we both earned the Emmys on the same night for the same program, we both broke a record. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Bonnie, who is 95 years old, and William, who is 97 years old, told the publication that “that was a record breaker, nobody had ever done that.” “Now, it seems like in Hollywood there are no marriages that are 73 years old, so we seem to break records.”
Bonnie goes on to say, “Under no circumstances did we ever consider it.” From our point of view, it is not very significant, but for other people, it is quite significant.
The two individuals, who both have Boy Meets World as a job credential, first became acquainted with one another when they were both attending Northwestern University. finally, in 1951, they tied the knot and became parents to two boys, Michael and Robert, after dating for a few years and finally getting married. Sadly, their firstborn son, William Jr., passed away not long after his birth.
With each passing day, the lifelong couple continues to learn more about each other, despite the fact that they have been together for a very long period.
There is no end to your education. You are never able to quit being fascinated. “There is no way to know,” Bonnie admits. When he does anything, I find myself wondering, “Where did that come from? ” Once in a while, he will do something. Where did you get that information?’ Also, he is the same way with me. What someone accomplishes never ceases to amaze us, and we never expected it to.
The words “She is a very competent woman” are said by William, who has been married to his wife for seven decades. Because she is so intelligent, I delegate a lot of responsibility to her.
“She’s kind of in charge of all the business, all the money, and all of that,” the author of There I Go Again continues. “She takes care of that.”
The actor also mentions that it is “important” that Bonnie is “very easy to live with,” and he considers this to be one of his favorite aspects of the author of Middle of the Rainbow.
“His sense of humor,” Bonnie says, “is the thing that she appreciates the most about Williams.” This is just wonderful. According to her, “He is always saying funny things, and he does so all the time.”
The couple intends to celebrate their 73rd wedding anniversary with their kids and other family members.
Our eldest kid is an excellent chef, and as a result, it is likely that he will [cook]. Alternately, we might go out,” she reveals. If it’s a member of the family, it doesn’t make a difference. Here is my granddaughter, Grace, who is also present. Due to the fact that my son’s new woman friend is present, we are going to have a wonderful time with all of them, including all of the individuals that we adore.
