9. Liza Minnelli
Singer, actress, dancer and all around triple threat, Liza Minnelli followed closely in her mother’s footsteps when she married an older “wiser” man; musician Peter Allen. Unfortunately for Minnelli, Allen was a gay man who was not quite ready to leave that comfortable closet. Married from 1967-1974, Allen reportedly knew he always liked men but was unsure of how to articulate that to his family and friends. Allen died in 1992, after a long battle with AIDS. At the time he was in a 15 year relationship with a man he met after his divorce from Minnelli. Minnelli however, has sworn off of marriage after four failed attempts.
