Virtually all of the exotic objects in the Galaxy are the products of binary evo- lution, including binary pulsars, black-hole candidates, low mass X-ray binaries, cataclysmic variables and symbiotic stars. Type Ia supernovae, the standard candle of modern cosmology, are produced by them. UV spectroscopy of inter- acting binaries obtained with IUE, HST and FUSE have dramatically improved our understanding of interacting binaries and of the physical processes that characterize their emission. UV imaging has made it possible to isolate binaries and the products of binary evolution in old stellar populations and thereby test directly models of binary evolution in dense stellar systems. In this review, I will summarize some of the highlights of what we have learned about binaries and their evolution from UV observations, and suggest how further observations could resolve some of the important questions that remain
