Elizabeth Taylor, the dark-haired beauty who lit up the silver screen, lived an epic life full of triumph and tragedy. Her name is still known throughout the world and epitomizes elegance. While fans fondly revere this movie legend, she is also remembered as the consummate femme fatal who always had the eyes of the world on her every move. This was especially true during the 1960s, when the Academy Award winner began a passionate and complex love affair with fellow actor, Richard Burton. Together, they commanded the international stage and set off a global media frenzy.
Taylor and Burton were Hollywood royalty and had one of the most notorious romances of their time, spanning two decades. They were married for 12 years, from 1964 to 1976, with a brief divorce in 1974. Their fascinating and compelling story comes to life in the new Lifetime original movie, Liz and Dick, premiering Sunday, Nov. 25, which is based on the true story of the couple's tumultuous love affair. Lindsay Lohan takes on the role of Taylor, and Grant Bowler portrays Burton.
