EXCLUSIVE: Soap Vet Weds Oscar Nominee!

Tags:

Anna Stuart (Mary, ALL MY CHILDREN; Donna, ANOTHER WORLD) shares with Soaps In Depth exclusively that she and her longtime beau, Oscar-nominated and Emmy-winning actor James Cromwell (Babe, BETRAYAL, AMERICAN HORROR STORY: ASYLUM), wed on New Year’s Day at the home of Stuart’s AW pal Charles Keating (Carl).

“Since our romance officially began at Charles’ home two years ago on New Year’s Eve, we decided to get married there,” Stuart says with a smile. “Mary, Charles’ wife, was ‘scheming’ all the while. She wanted James in a nice relationship, and she knew I was available.”

Stuart and Cromwell met back in the ’80s through Keating and stayed in touch, casually, over the years. “Charles was having a birthday party two years ago at Sardi’s [restaurant in New York] and I was invited,” the actress shares. “James and I spent the party chatting and catching up. We went out and had lunch, and it all kind of shifted from friendship to where we are today. It’s pretty cool. This is a relationship I’ve wanted all my life.”

Did the eloquent Keating say a few words at the ceremony? “Of course, he did,” Stuart responds with a chuckle. “Charles has so much wonderful stuff in his brain.”

Later this week, the couple is set to leave for Africa on a trip that was already planned but will now serve as a honeymoon, too! “After we get back we’ll do parties [for family and friends] on either coast,” Stuart adds. “We didn’t want a big ‘do’ for the [ceremony]. We wanted to do this just for us.”
