Book Review:
This is a biography of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, one of Hollywood's most famous and tumultuous couples. Their romance began during the filming of ''Cleopatra'' in 1963 and captivated the world. They married in 1964, divorced in 1974, remarried in 1975, and divorced again in 1976. The book details their passionate, volatile love affair, their extravagant gifts (including Burton's famous diamond purchases, such as the 69.42-carat Taylor-Burton Diamond), their struggles with alcohol, and their films together, including ''Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'' The authors draw on personal letters, diaries, and interviews with close friends to reveal the inside story of this legendary relationship. Long before ''Brangelina,'' Taylor and Burton were the original celebrity power couple. This book is a riveting, fast-paced, and well-written account of ''the marriage of the century.''
