Furious Love: Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, and the Marriage of the Century

In an short excerpt from a Kathleen Hughes review of the book Furious Love:

It's a mesmerizing tale - sad, sometimes ugly -

as the two stars engaged in vicious fights,

nursed their jealousies and insecurities,

and descended into alcoholism,

while outwardly living a life of glamour and sophistication.
