Fifty years ago today Elizabeth Taylor married Richard
Burton. In an unusual wedding, Liz wore a yellow, empire style chiffon gown. In
her traditional, out of the norm style, she wore a crown of white hyacinths and
lilies of the valley around her head that cascaded down her pulled back hair
style. Like many Hollywood couples Taylor and Burton meet onset of a movie they
costarred. In 1961 they meet on the set of Cleopatra;
Taylor playing the eternal Queen and Goddess and Burton playing her second
husband, Marc Antony. Throughout their careers they costarred in 11 films
together.
Burton was Taylor’s fifth husband, married only days after
Taylor was divorced from her previous husband. They would be married for ten
years before they divorced in 1974. A year later they remarried, only to
divorce again less than a year later. Taylor would have a total of seven
husbands and was divorced when she died in 2011.
