His professional life, which spanned seven decades, was almost cut short by his hard-partying days on the road as a musician and in Hollywood as a leading man and character actor.

'I thought all serious artists were self-destructive. That anybody worth their salt was going to be out there living on the edge,' the Brownsville, Texas native told People in 1998. He would ultimately have his moment of clarity, which inspired him to stop his hard-drinking ways, after seeing his death scene in the first remake of A Star Is Born (1978) where he plays a character similar in his self-destructive ways, alongside Barbara Streisand .

CallaHAN: The backlash is on the rise. Women and girls are beginning to agitate, to speak the unspoken, to avoid being afraid of the woke crowd and say: ENOUGH. Enough with trans athletes stealing hard-won awards and scholarships. Enough with biological females reduced to ornaments on podiums, supposed to enjoy biological males who have unfairly gained. Enough with being compelled to share once-safe spaces, whether locker rooms or sorority homes, it's been enough. Enough with companies turning womanhood into a shaming pantomime, frippery, or one major joke. Enough.

Woody came to fame after being thrust into the spotlight due to his work in Cheers, he went out of his way to become a wild partyer and rampant womanizer. Hollywood's newest golden boy soared on his fame, and would tell three different women a day and vowed never to be tied down by marriage. But it all changed when he met Laura Louie, his future-mother, who went on to save the actor from the spiral of debauchery and corruption that he suffered on, and also turned the self-proclaimed 'party animal' into a devoted family man. Laura Woody, who died in 1987 as part of a school workshop, met Laura, now 58, when she was a college student visiting the Cheers set. He nabbed her as his assistant and the pair fell in love three years later.

Despite Woody's turbulent past and infidelities, he and Laura have certainly stood the test of time, and after being together for more than three decades, FEMAIL recapped their entire relationship from start to finish.
