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.

評分好莱坞影星总是会被蒙上一层神秘的色彩。在荧幕的光影舞动和摄像机的亲密接触下,好莱坞明星似乎都是从希腊神话中走出的美神,不食人间烟火,只为被顶礼膜拜而存在。但实际上好莱坞不是一个流淌着甜蜜和善意的地方,事实上它是世界上最大的绞肉机之一。而伊丽莎白泰勒和理查...
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...

評分很多年前看过一条新闻,当时泰勒还活着,说她希望在自己死后,能够把骨灰放在她一生最爱的丈夫理查德伯顿生前曾经演出过的老维克剧院里。 虽然那个时候还没有爱上伯顿,但我已经看过《埃及艳后》,很喜欢这对cp,看到这条新闻之后,忍不住感慨她对他深沉的爱意,以及无尽的浪漫...
