Not only was it judged an astonishing waste of money, it was also the film on which Taylor and Burton, both married to other people, had scandalously fallen in love with each other. In April 1962, the Los Angeles Times announced that “probably no news event in modern times has affected so many people personally”.Lewis also believes that Burton killed his older brother Ivor though, again, he cannot prove it. In 1968 Ivor fell and was paralysed: he later died from his injuries. Lewis thinks Ivor fell because Burton hit him. “Ivor’s fall was an accident, or was it?” Burton wrote in his diary. Burton was secretive, Lewis adds: that’s why he was best at playing spies, or the devil.

Having read this, I'm not sure I would have liked her as a person but I can appreciate the good she tried to do & later in life she did try to make amends with those she had hurt earlier. Taylor died in 2011 & an era of Hollywood glamour died with her. Taylor was well-known for her love of jewellery & this quote from the book would be the one I think sums her up: Concerning Michael Todd, I wish that a biography could be written about him. Mr. Todd had an extensive presence in Chicago. It is said that Mr. Todd's remains were moved from the Chicago metro area to Los Angeles some years ago, but that may remain today as hearsay. When they were children, Harriet and Vesey entertained the younger children with hide-and-seek, always hiding together, in the hayloft. To have hidden independently would have seemed a betrayal: they committed to each other in the simplest terms. All of the children in Taylor’s fiction are remarkably credible.
