ELIZABETH TAYLOR and CONRAD HILTON - Divorce

Nicky Hilton was Dame Liz' first (of many) husbands, the marriage ending after a mere 7 months. This was back in the good old days where "Extreme Cruelty" was the complaint du jour when a celebrity filed for divorce. This file, from The LA County Superior Court Archives is ten pages, and includes a copy of the telegram that the Judge in this matter sent to the Registrar in London, advising him that the divorce decree had been "made absolute."

NICHOLAS CAGE and PATRICIA ARQUETTE - DIVORCE
|
|
|
Nicholas Cage proposed to Patricia Arquette on the day he met her way back in the early 80s. Being a reasonable girl, Arquette thought he was perhaps a bit strange, but played along with his antics by creating a list of things Cage would have to fulfill to win her. Bottom line: Several years after that they eventually married, and five years after that she wanted him gone, filing divorce papers that got the whole thing done and finalized on that same day. Talk about good customer service. The entire file is 22 pages in length and explains everything.
