Well it’s Flashback Friday here at moviestarstyle.com and who better to profile than Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton?! I’ve been meaning to write a post on this glamorous Hollywood couple for a long time. I’m fascinated by them and by their impact on the Hollywood landscape that exists even today.
They had a passionate, turbulent romance that was just so…watchable. Long before reality tv came along, folks loved to follow the ups and downs of Richard and Liz
!
If you’d like to read more about the history of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton’s romance, you’ll love this Vanity Fair article,
“A Love Too Big to Last”
Or, even better this new book that’s just come out on them, with the cooperation of Liz Taylor herself:
Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century
Do you think there is a modern-day equivalent to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton? The only couple that comes to mind lately is Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
.
But even Angelina and Brad’s relationship doesn’t seem to have nearly as much drama as Liz and Richard’s did. Nor are they quite as glamorous. But that’s just me. What do you think? Can you think of another Hollywood couple that matches Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton for glamour and drama?!
