They'd actually been together since 1971 so certainly a long time by Hollywood standards!

Yes it is a long time, I just wonder WHY after all this time, maybe one of them is in a relationship and wants to make it permanent.

I can't remember Danny being in One flew over the Cuckoos Nest......one of my favourite films.

He played a patient called Martini apparently. I haven't seen the film myself.

If you google "Danny de Vito in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest" you'll find lots of pictures.
