In "Hamilton," when the characters of Alexander Hamilton and his wife Eliza kiss, my child, attending his first Broadway musical performed by the nationally touring "And Peggy" cast, leaned over to me and whispered: "Wouldn't it be great if they were actually together?"
Let me introduce you to Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons, kid. Actually together, Dunst and Plemons met on the set of FX's stellar second season of "Fargo," where they played high school sweethearts. Engaged since 2017, the pair have two children together along with hundreds of films, TV shows, commercials: two bodies of work from a pair of performers who have been professionally working since they could talk. This year, Dunst and Plemons join a small but notable group: couples who have both been nominated for Oscars in the same year.
