Louise Newbury: Bill Paxton And Wife Had 30 Year Marriage, A Hollywood Rarity
Louise Newbury and Bill Paxton had something increasingly rare in Hollywood — a happy and healthy marriage that lasted 30 years.
The beloved actor died suddenly on Sunday at age 61, passing away after complications from heart surgery. He left behind Louise, his wife for 30 years, along with two children — 23-year-old James and 19-year-old Lydia.
After Paxton’s death, many have turned their attention to Louise Newbury and the love that the two shared. Paxton and Newbury married in 1987, seven years after the actor divorced from his first wife, actress Kelly Rowan.
Paxton spoke about his wife often. Just days before his death, Bill Paxton told late night show host James Corden how he first met Louise Newbury in London, a chance meeting on a bus.
