The Legendary Love Story Of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton

The romance between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton is as fabled as the plots they acted out together on screen. Spanning 13 years, 11 films, one yacht, millions of pounds worth of diamonds, two marriages and two divorces.
The Taylor-Burton partnership is one of the defining celebrity unions of the 20th century.
The couple were officially introduced on the set of Cleopatra in Rome in 1962.
Both married at the time.
At the time, Taylor was married to her fourth husband, Eddie Fisher, and Burton had been married to the mother of his children, Sybil, for 13 years.
Though the costly film was not well-received by critics, the lure of seeing the Taylor-Burton chemistry on screen assured its box office success.
Taylor, then 32, and Burton, 38, married for the first time on 15 March 1964 in Montreal, Canada.
Surprisingly, the nuptials came without a diamond engagement ring, with the bride instead wearing a sapphire brooch bought for her by the groom on her right shoulder.
They divorced a decade later in 1974, only to exchange vows a second time in Botswana a year later, then separate for the final time in 1975.
Taylor and Burton said “I do” for the second time in Botswana. The bride wore a floaty dress by the British designer Gina Fratini and a feathered headpiece in lieu of a traditional veil. The groom opted for white flares.
The couple’s time together was distinguished by passion and excess – they were lavish spenders who indulged in diamonds and dinners, bought jet planes on a whim, argued explosively, and made up the same way.
Though divorced (twice) by 1983, the couple reunited for a final appearance together onstage in the latter half of the year, in a production of Noël Coward’s comedy, Private Lives. Burton died the following year. Taylor passed away in 2011.
