Celebrities who married their fans

Patrick Dempsey

While he had made a name for himself with movies such as Can't Buy Me Love in the '80s, Patrick Dempsey didn't lock down his status as a Hollywood hunk until he starred as Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd in the ABC drama Grey's Anatomy. However, he earned himself a major fan in Jillian Fink long before his role as the sexy doctor at Seattle Grace hospital. In 1994, he booked a haircut at the salon Delux, where Fink worked as a stylist. Noting that a co-worker would often write down celebrity names in the appointment book just for fun, Fink told People that she was "shocked" when the real Dempsey walked in. "But at the same time," she said, "I was happy because he was so cute."
