Actor Charlie Sheen and model Donna Peele C met when they both starred in a cigarette commercial. Sheen was clearly smitten with her when he said, “She’s an angel sent from heaven to take me through the rest of my journey.” The couple tied the knot on Charlie’s birthday in 1995 after six weeks of dating (this should’ve been a red flag).
The marriage only lasted five months. When asked about the divorce, Sheen said, “You buy a bad car, it breaks down.” That guy is a real charmer!
