Boulevard of Broken Hearts

The world's most compelling love affairs don't always end 'happily ever after'. They end tragically, and by doing so achieve immortality, reminding us of the fact that even though lovers may die, love itself lasts forever. Whether on film, in literature or in real life, there have been many enduring tales of love found and lost. Romeo and Juliet, Heathcliff and Catherine, Paris and Helen of Troy, Bogie and Bacall, William Shakespeare and Violet de Lessops, Tristan & Isolde, Rhett Butler & Scarlet O'Hara, Clarke Gable & Carole Lombard, Rick Blaine and Ilsa Lund - their names are etched in golden letters in the history of mankind, as their stories reinforce the belief that true love is worth sacrificing everything.
