The definitive story of Hollywood's most famous couple He was a tough-guy Welshman softened by the affections of a breathtakingly beautiful woman; she was a modern-day Cleopatra madly in love with her own Mark Antony. For nearly a quarter of a century, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were Hollywood royalty, and their fiery romance—often called "the marriage of the century"—was the most notorious, publicized, and celebrated love affair of its day. For the first time, Vanity Fair contributing editor Sam Kashner and acclaimed biographer Nancy Schoenberger tell the complete story of this larger-than-life couple, showing how their romance and two marriages commanded the attention of the world. Also for the first time, in exclusive access given to the authors, Elizabeth Taylor herself gives never-revealed details and firsthand accounts of her life with Burton. Drawing upon brand-new information and interviews—and on Burton's private, passionate, and heartbreaking letters to Taylor— Furious Love sheds new light on the movies, the sex, the scandal, the fame, the brawls, the booze, the bitter separations, and, of course, the fabled jewels. It offers an intimate glimpse into Elizabeth and Richard's privileged world and their elite circle of friends, among them Princess Grace, Montgomery Clift, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Peter O'Toole, Michael Caine, Marlon Brando, Rex Harrison, Mike Nichols, Laurence Olivier, Robert Kennedy, Tennessee Williams, NoËl Coward, John Huston, Ava Gardner, the Rothschilds, Maria Callas, and Aristotle Onassis. It provides an entertaining, eye-opening look at their films, their wildly lucrative reign in Europe and in Hollywood—and the price they paid for their extravagant lives. Shocking and unsparing in its honesty, Furious Love explores the very public marriage of "Liz and Dick" as well as the private struggles of Elizabeth and Richard, including Le Scandale , their affair on the set of the notorious epic Cleopatra that earned them condemnation from the Vatican; Burton's hardscrabble youth in Wales; the crippling alcoholism that nearly destroyed his career and contributed to his early death; the medical issues that plagued both him and Elizabeth; and the failed aspirations and shame that haunted him throughout their relationship. As Kashner and Schoenberger illuminate the events and choices that shaped this illustrious couple's story, they demonstrate how the legendary pair presaged America's changing attitudes toward sex, marriage, morality, and celebrity. Yet ultimately, as the authors show, Elizabeth and Richard shared something priceless beyond the drama: enduring love. Addictive and entertaining, Furious Love is more than a celebrity biography; it's an honest yet sympathetic portrait of a man, a woman, and a passion that shocked and mesmerized the world.

Home was where Elizabeth was, and he wanted to come home. 作為傳記,他人的愛情故事本就不如其他任何形式的愛情載體來的更加動人,但是每個章節開頭的字字句句總是能夠一語擊中,就像Preface裏Richard Burton的那句話一樣"I am forever punished by the gods for being given the fire and trying to put it out. The fire, of course, is you."也如Elizabeth Taylor所言after Richard, men in my life were just there to hold the coat. Love. M

相比50-60年代,电影工业发展已经进入相对稳速发展的年代,没有了时局的动荡,激情燃烧的岁月,我们更难去体会那时的明星过着怎样一种生活。感觉他们比现在的明星名媛们炫酷多了。现在的人只能引起暂时关注而被迅速淘汰,无论他们使用什么样的手段炒作。 作为勇敢的一对,他们...
評分文/严杰夫 如果不是读了这本《烈爱》,伊丽莎白·泰勒的爱情传奇在我眼中,也不过是好莱坞的一段陈旧八卦。想想看,一个女人结了八次婚,一辈子有过七个老公,谁会相信她会是一个执着于爱情的女人?又有哪个男人会和这样的女人,铸造出电影史上一段令人泫然欲泣的婚姻? 事实...
評分发现一份英国人自己评选的英国二十位最伟大的男演员名单,意外的是伯顿仅仅排名第六,迈克尔凯恩排第五,刚好在他前面,突然生出很多感慨来。 先附上名单(1安东尼·霍普金斯 2劳伦斯·奥利弗 3肖恩·康纳利 4亚历克·吉尼斯 5迈克尔·凯恩 6理查德·伯顿 7大卫·贾森 8加里·...
評分郑渝川(书评人) 电影公司总希望通过翻拍经典作品来获得能够更可靠实现的票房预期收益。1960年代,美国电影巨头二十世纪福克斯公司就翻拍了1917年默片时代的史诗巨制《埃及艳后》,本来以为可以将开销控制在中等预算影片的支出水平,本来以为可以带来超高的票房。但这两个预...
評分正在看这本书的时候,无意间发现理查德·伯顿的一张罕见照,似乎是二十出头的样子,大概是在去好莱坞之前,在英国演莎士比亚舞台剧的时期照的。 想不到他还有这么瘦这么阳光的时候,也难怪他会被两个同性恋老师和两个同性恋前辈盯上。也想不到曾经这样纯真的他,后来的眼睛里为...
