The man who invented the polio vaccine, Jonas Salk, married Pablo Picasso's ex-partner, French painter Françoise Gilot.

...I feel like that should be a quiz question.

Also Françoise Gilot was Jonas Salk's SECOND wife. His first wife was Donna Lindsay, a master's candidate at the New York College of Social Work. David Oshinsky writes that Donna's father, Elmer Lindsay, "a wealthy Manhattan dentist, viewed Salk as a social inferior, several cuts below Donna's former suitors." Eventually, her father agreed to the marriage on two conditions: first, Salk must wait until he could be listed as an official M.D. on the wedding invitations, and second, he must improve his "rather pedestrian status" by giving himself a middle name."
