Ethel Merman & Ernest Borgnine — 32 Days

One would think that divorces and annulments are more common during modern times and not during the early years of Hollywood. This is not the case, as even then, separations were already common. An example of this is the one between Ethel Merman and Ernest Borgnine. The two got married on June 27, 1964. Their differences became apparent, however, during their honeymoon.

At a time that they should be enjoying, it appeared they turned on each other as Ethel discovered that her husband was more famous than her. Their marriage only lasted for 32 days. Ernest, after many years, also revealed he heard his wife complain to his parents about how terrible a husband he was. So when they got back from their travels to Hawaii and the Far East, Ernest called an attorney and decided it was time to end the marriage.
