Leonardo DiCaprio's looking fine at 49! Actor suits up to join Killers of the Flower Moon co-star Lily Gladstone at Gotham Awards in New York City Emerald Emma! Marchioness of Bath is effortlessly elegant in silky green gown as she and her husband chat to Prince William at Tusk Conservation Awards I can't say that I enjoyed this one any more than I enjoyed the previous one I read by author J. Randy Taraborrelli. It's just that this one is much more recent and was written after her death. I was particularly entranced by her marriages with producer Mike Todd and of course Richard Burton...these two her greatest loves in life. I would still endorse the two biographies I mentioned in my first paragraph to get the best pictures of this subject. It's been decades since I read these books but they still resonate deeply with me. The Richard Burton book included excerpts from his "Notebooks" which were his extensive diaries. He loved to write and wrote seeringly honest passages about Elizabeth that were riveting. The J. Randy Taraborrelli authored Elizabeth biography covered the subject of her marriage to Mike Todd to a greater degree, as I recall.

Not only was it judged an astonishing waste of money, it was also the film on which Taylor and Burton, both married to other people, had scandalously fallen in love with each other. In April 1962, the Los Angeles Times announced that “probably no news event in modern times has affected so many people personally”.In the mid-1970s, while married to her seventh husband, Senator John Warner, Taylor suffered an injury while horse-riding that forced her to give up that beloved pastime. I apparently went on an extended campaign to convince my parents we could drain our pool and keep the horse in there. They love telling this story.
