SAMUEL L. JACKSON AND LATANYA RICHARDSON

As part of films such as Star Wars and Pulp Fiction, Samuel Jackson has always played the tough guy—the hero. However, in real life, the actor gives credit to his wife, LaTanya Richardson for saving his life. The pair first met in 1970 and studied in colleges that were near each other. It wasn’t an instant connection between them, however. LaTanya’s first impression of Samuel was that he was “flamboyant, emotionally detached, and self-involved.”

Fortunately, she was able to see beyond the surface and was proven through all these years. Samuel and Latanya have been together for 5 decades already and we cannot remember any sound story that degrades the actor’s reputation as a husband. In fact, he is very showy of his affection for his wife to the public. This goes to show that as for Samuel, aside from his investments in the industry, his first priority is his wife and their daughter.
