Melvyn Bragg's book on him, called 'Rich' is fantastic. I could read it over & over. I'm still a huge fan of Richard Burton to this day. Talent, charisma, intelligence, brooding good looks.

Taylor and Burton WERE the most Iconic REAL couple of the screen. They loved, they fought, they made up and they'd try again. Two huge personalities that were THE MATCH for publicity. EVERYONE FED OFF THEM ! It was amazing to watch as it was happening. They were like magnets to eachother. They truly lived their lives to the fullest. Very few of us would ever experience that kind of love and passion. How really lucky they were.

I was 23 and not well acquainted with Elizabeth or Richard, but my mom had tickets to Private Lives in LA in late 1983. I went with her to see the play and it was delightful, funny and charming. I was so glad I got to see Richard perform before he died. Since then I've watched many movies with Elizabeth in them and enjoy them. May they both Rest In Peace.

Love both of them, for themselves and together. Rest in peace.

The passion that Taylor and Burton had for each other ran thru their veins. They never loved anybody else the same way and they took that love to their graves.

this was a wonderful step back in time to two people who loved each other but could not live together

Richard and Elizabeth didn't care what nobody say.They lived life to the fullest.

Without intending to judge, I must say that the life of these two outstanding artists has been more interesting than any romantic book or dramatic movie. Their memory is alive

She was too beautiful. Overtly gorgeous but she had almost a raw rustic passion to balance it. She remained a nice person and a fiesty girl who loved to live and laugh. U can see how wise and truthful and uncomplicated she is in her head. Her interviews are so interesting to hear. I wish there were way more!

I always felt they died loving each other more than anyone one else ever in their lives.

There will never be another Hollywood love story like this one. I hope they found each other on the other side ❤❤

The energy of the acting talent these two lovebirds had respectively could have lit up an entire country.

Richard Burton to this day is my favorite actor. A real talent who brought literature and stories to life. Never has there been a voice like his+

[tinafarrar]

Richard Burton deserved an award every stage or movie he was in!

Beautiful yet very sad. Wish they could have been together in a healthy way. Rest In Peace to both.

Yesterday, I bought a "White Diamonds" Elizabeth Taylor barbie doll and I'm SO excited to make her all of Lizs' most iconic outfits (from films, to things she wore in real life!) So inspiring! 💟💜💟
