Samuel L. Jackson celebrates 46th wedding anniversary

Actor Samuel L. Jackson and his wife, LaTanya Richardson Jackson, are celebrating 46 years of marriage. The couple, who met while attending Morehouse and Spelman colleges in Atlanta during the 1970s, marked the milestone on August 18 with tributes on social media.

LaTanya Richardson Jackson described her husband as her “foundation” and “rock,” while Samuel L. Jackson shared a wedding photo from 1980. The couple has emphasized the importance of family stability throughout their decades together.

Separately, the anniversary coincides with the 20-year mark since the release of the film “Snakes on a Plane.” Despite the movie’s premise becoming a viral internet sensation and a cultural meme prior to its August 2006 release, the film failed to break even on its $33 million budget.
