I'm a 19th Century figure who made a good living with my skill, until I met my future wife who was more skilled than myself in the same field. After that I managed her career.

First I thought of Potempkin and Catherine the Great, but wrong century and they never mearried. So it must be Frank Butler and Annie Oakley?

Another famous Hungarian, I was rejected for military service at home and I emigrated to the US to fight in a war. Within 5 years of the end of the war, I was elected to serve in the legislature of my adopted state. Later, I was elected to a Congressional seat, but I resigned that before completing my first term. I made my name in another field. Robert Duvall and Harry Connick Jr both played my part in movies.
