Sorry to break the news if you hadn’t already heard, Dale!
Mira Sorvino Marries 22-Year-Old Beau
Tuesday, June 29, 2004
LOS ANGELES — Wedding bells have rung for Oscar-winner Mira Sorvino (search) and her 22-year-old beau.
Sorvino, 36, married actor Christopher Backus (search) June 11 in a private ceremony at the Santa Barbara courthouse, Sorvino’s publicist, Mara Buxbaum, said in a statement Monday.
It’s the first marriage for both, Buxbaum said.
Sorvino won a best supporting-actress Oscar for Woody Allen’s 1995 film, “Mighty Aphrodite.” She also appeared in the films “Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion” (search) and “The Replacement Killers.”
She is the daughter of actor Paul Sorvino.
Backus has appeared on the NBC sitcom “Will & Grace.”
Very cool, Em. When asked, I tell my middle school students that when I was their age, my wife was not born yet. 14 years difference is just about perfect, is it not?
Dunno Byll…I’m afraid he still has the same 3 Stooges mentality he had when I was born…I think I’ve long since passed him maturationally.
Whatever the age difference, the important thing is someone who lets you change and grow, and whom you can adapt to in reasonable synchronicity. We seem to have managed that.
Let M = Mira
Let M(age)=Mira’s age in years
Let H = Mira’s Husband
Let H(age)=Mira’s husband’s age
Let D=Dale
Let D(age)=Dale’s age
Please try to keep up.
M(age)=36
H(age)=22
D(age)=48
M(age)-H(age)=M-H(age)
36-22=14
M(age)-D(age)=M-D(age)
36-48= -12
Therefore, had Mira married Dale(me), she would have married a man closer to her own age. This would have reduced the “scandal factor” (sf).
Not that I WOULD have married or anything. Mrs. Undisputed, as we approach our 25th anniversary of happy marital union, would have rightfully objected. And sued.
Well, here’s the cool thing. When the old dude joins AARP, the youngster automatically gets a spouse’s membership. Unfortunately(?) as my hubby has failed to look his age thus far, it’s somewhat laughable if either one of us tries to pull off the Sr. discount.
Mira, why??
