This crossword puzzle is dedicated to partners in the arts. Whether their partnerships were ones of long-lasting affection or of turmoil—or both—these artists’ relationships invariably shaped their creative endeavors. Many of these names cannot be recalled without thinking of the other:  Sonny and Cher, Laurel and Hardy, Simon and Garfunkel.  In some duos, one partner craved the spotlight while the other cherished the supporting role. Theirs are stories of give and take, sharing, arguing, splitting up and reuniting.

Enjoy this romp through famous duos of the past and present in the visual, musical, theatrical, and literary arts—and in a few other aspects of life.
