Burton-Taylor love ‘never stopped’
NZPA-Reuter London Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor never stopped loving each other, in spite of their two failed marriages and his drinking and womanising, says the brother of the late Welsh actor. Graham Jenkins, whose book “Richard Burton, My Brother,” has been published in London, told Reuters, “It’s quite clear they had an understand-
ing that was beyond understanding.” He said Burton, who died from a brain haemorrhage, at the age of 58 four years ago, had never felt apart from Taylor in spite of marrying twice after he and the American film star were divorced in 1976. “Even when he was married to (his fourth wife) Sally, he would still ring up Elizabeth and vice versa,” Jenkins said.
