Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor’s love life mirrored her dramatic screen roles. She was married eight times to seven different men, including hotel magnate Conrad Hilton Jr. and Eddie Fisher, Carrie Fisher’s father. Yet, it was Richard Burton who captured her heart. Their legendary romance began on the set of *Cleopatra* (1963), where she starred as the titular character, and he played Mark Antony, igniting a love story that rivaled both history and Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers.

Taylor and Burton married and divorced twice, their relationship characterized by a lavish, international lifestyle and an explosive rollercoaster of emotions, often exacerbated by their battles with alcohol. Their love story remains one of Hollywood’s most captivating and tumultuous tales.
