There's no denying James Lipton was an accomplished man, having starred in and written for various television shows in addition to his tenure at Inside the Actor's Studio. As it turns out, however, James' shining moment has nothing to do with his life's work. "Marrying Kedakai," the Michigan native told Parade magazine in 2013 when asked to name his greatest achievement. The producer upped the cute factor when he explained the success of his marriage on Kedakai being a "masterpiece." Aww.

Considering James was head-over-heels for the model, it makes perfect sense they married shortly after meeting. "We met at the ballet," he told Parade. "I took one look at her and I fell madly in love. I called her the next day and asked her to have dinner with me. Nine months later we were married."

It's sad James is no longer here with his great love, but at least the couple enjoyed 50 years together.
