It is known that the stormy relationship between Hollywood star Elizabeth Taylor and Welsh actor Richard Burton began in Rome while filming the epic movie Cleopatra.
At the time, she was married to her fourth husband, American singer Eddie Fisher, and had three children. Burton is the father of two with his Welsh wife Sybil. What follows from their meeting is a crazy mix of tragedy, farce and incredible erotic attraction.
All the details of their scandalous relationship are revealed in a new book about the emotions surrounding their iconic and torrid relationship. The date was January 22, 1962, when Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton met. She arrives on set with Eddie, two secretaries, two maids, make-up artists and hairdressers. The actress is dressed in a mink, which she defiantly drops on the floor. She stands in front of Burton, who unconcernedly addresses her with the words: “You’re too fat, but you have a pretty face.”
Everyone is shocked, but the film’s producer, Walter Wanger, later notes how the actress and actor are soon “conversing intently … you can almost feel the electricity.” He is also adamant that the two are not just acting, they are experiencing in the film the emotion they feel for each other.

Over time, the stormy love of Elizabeth and Richard goes through many vicissitudes. The two stand before the altar twice and divorce twice. The main reason is their strong and unpredictable characters, which often involved them in clashes, as well as the alcoholism of the Welshman, due to which he passed away from this world at the age of 58.
