[WILMASBOYL78]

One of the last great female movie stars from the golden age of Hollywood. Richard Burton was quoted as saying:


"She was so extraordinarily beautiful that I nearly laughed out loud. She ... [was] famine, fire, destruction and plague ... the only true begetter. Her breasts were apocalyptic, they would topple empires before they withered ... her body was a miracle of construction ... She was unquestionably gorgeous. She was lavish. She was a dark, unyielding largesse. She was, in short, too bloody much ... Those huge violet blue eyes... had an odd glint... Aeons passed, civilizations came and went while these cosmic headlights examined my flawed personality. Every pockmark on my face became a crater of the moon."
With the above words, the late actor Richard Burton gushed about his first sight of a then 19-year-old Elizabeth Taylor. And Liz indeed proved "too bloody much" for him, as they burned through two failed attempts at marriage (1964-74; 1975-76).
