Looks like Errol Flynn to me!

@@brendadion7868 Michael Wilding was ET's much older second husband (he does look a little like EF though) but he only rates one sentence in this entire presentation. Definitely a picture of him but it is weird the thumbnail is him and not RB for the purposes of this documentary.

I wondered the same thing!

👍

​@@brendadion7868It was Michael Wilding. Her second husband.

At least!❤

19th century you meant...

@@anitadimaku8143- No. The 19th century went from 1800 to1900.

Don't know how true this is. Evidently when Carrie Fisher told ET that her father had died, she cried. She knew she had hurt him ... but there was little she could have done to prevent her relationship with Burton.

They both drank enough to kill normal people.

Richard Burton, yes. I would have fondled his chest like mad.

Oh, absolutely. Wish I had a man as gorgeous as him.

GORGEOU! THE ORIGIN4L!

Michael Wilding 😊

Apparently when Carrie Fisher told her that her dad had died ET cried. At some point, later on, she must have understood how much she had hurt him. She was pretty young( 26) when that scandal happened.

My phone captions are translating them.

The Dior( Marc Bohan) dress she wore when she won the Oscar was recently found and auctioned off.

Cleopatra.❤

Absolutely delicious!❤

Actually, 8 times. Twice to Burton.

​​@@jsmith034086sa Zsa Gabor married 9 times, Jennifer O'Neil married 9 times, Rita Hayworth 8 times , Lana Turner 8 times. Mickey Rooney and Larry King 8 times.

EDDIE was already leaving Debbie by the time Mike Todd died.

@Jennifer Hamm "whale chair"?...

When she married Fortensky she looked amazing at their wedding. No wheelchair( yet).

When she married Fortensky in 1991 she looked wonderful.

The Burtons, at their height, were much bigger than them.

@@yvonneplant9434 Jlo could not compare to ET in any way. ET was beautiful and talented, far more than that egomaniacal woman. Both Liz & RB could act them off the screen too! Ben Affleck is utterly bland and mostly forgettable in his roles.

jajajaja not even close to elizabeth and richard

Ben Affleck is good but he is nowhere near Burton's level.

Maybe yes, maybe no. He was a lot older than her.

agree, and burton was not strong

She didn’t have to divorce him, Tracy was gay, & so was Hepburn.

Although Burton and Taylor had their affair made public, im sure many more had scandals that the studios covered up lol!!

exactly

They just were more noisy about it than Kate Hepburn and spencer Tracey

I believe it was because of the notoriety of the stars. Elizabeth was the highest paid actress; the most beautiful actress and a superstar from childhood on; an outspoken, exotic actress who appeared to be able to have any man she desired. Burton was loved by intellectuals for his genius on-stage, who turned out to be just as great in films. Also he was an obvious "man's man" - handsomely rugged, not the usual Hollywood "smoothie." AND Elizabeth had only recently stolen another husband (Eddie Fisher) from America's sweetheart, Debbie Reynolds. So they were gorgeous, talented, sexy, self-confident because of their obvious popularity and talent, and shamelessly notorious. This was just more of the same for them, and they reveled in their naughty love affair because they didn't give a hoot about anything but the fulfillment of their (understandable) lust.. It was chemistry, all the way, and if you've never had it with someone (who was married, with kids) you can't understand it. The flame just goes right through you and you are helpless.

There is a new book about them coming out in January, 2024. It may already be available in UK. Trying to imagine how it could be better than Furious Love.

As you know they were codependent alcoholics.

I see it differently. I think Burton had the more mature love than she. At least later on. I think he tried, sometimes in vain, to save his life and get sober and lead a calmer life. She was still drinking and taking the pills and acting erraticly. I think he would have gone right back to her had they been able to lead that calmer, more sober life together. I don't think he loved her any less, just could not take that life anymore. Obviously her constitution was stronger than his. Even though she did get clean later on, some of that erratic personality remained. Riding on motorcycles with Malcom Forbes, marrying a much younger construction worker out of rehab at Neverland. She always seemed anxious and frantic to me. And by the way, that woman who claimed to have had the affair with Burton at 14 I believe could not prove this affair which was most probably fabricated. Enough was known about where he was appearing and what he was like to construct a story. Anyway, they are both gone and less and less people even know who they were anymore, proving the old addage, "Vanity, vanity, all is vanity."

Could be, according to medical researchers, that men's testosterone levels have decreased by 40% since 1970. That's not my area of research, but I wonder if, bc men aren't doing what was considered masculine tasks that is the reason for the loss or was it the other way around?

I thought it was very interesting and well done. It was also as close as the story from life. I'm surprised that it was so engaging bc I didnt think there would be any reason to hear about them any further. Still, despite no new reveals, it was worth the time to watch it. I liked the reminder of Equus. I saw Burton perform that on stage and he was mesmerizing. To this day the most awesome performance by an actor anywhere, any time.

She was supposed to be on the flight that killed Todd. She was sick so she didn't go.

I had seen Burton interact with many people and he was always VERY kind to the common person. Extraordinarily so.

@Estella Coggins Oh no, Taylor was no actress, even she knew that! And this is despite some of her most important roles i.e. 'Cat On a Hot Tin Roof' and 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' She was a Movie Star, plain and simple; there's a difference.

Her be best acting was in National Velvet. She was good in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

@@susandemetry7158 As a child actress, Taylor was earnest and endearing without being cloying. Her's was a purely natural style which unfortunately didn't translate into all her adult work. She was good in 'Little Women', and excellent in 'A Place in the Sun'.

Okay. She was in more than one classic; Place In The Sun, Giant, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf Two Oscars to Burton's none. I agree he was a great actor but he drank. It essentially destroyed the talent he had.

@@andrewthornhill7042 She did a cameo in Jane Eyre. She was only in it for a few minutes but instantly you forget all about Peggy Ann Garner who was a big child star at the time.

She's been dead for over a decade. Give the hate a rest.

@@yvonneplant9434 I don't hate hate her i just think she was a c@@t

many men in any industry go through women just as selfishly.

@@Camille_Anderson There's a terrific new biography about Liz. First authorized one. Her children and grandkids were involved in it.

What about 'Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf '? She was amazing in that movie!

@@zamithemyth440 Only because she didn't need to act. 🤣🤣🤣

It's her second husband, Michael Wilding. The babies they are holding are the 2 sons they had, Michael Jr and Christopher. Born in 1953 and 1955 respectively.

@@magz6763 Stop laughing. That film was quite a reach for her.

why so much hate and misogyny

Yes, lust wears off and turns to jealousy and regrets. I hope they knew God we're all sinners.

@@tabithawest3874 Taylor converted to Judaism before she married Fisher. She spent nearly her lifetime in physical pain. She was born with scoliosis.

she was a great actress, why so much hate?

if you hate her so much why are you here?

She was a decent actress, not terrible nor exactly brilliant.
