<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Kashner and Schoenberger deliver the definitive, larger-than-life account of the greatest Hollywood love story ever--the fiery romance of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>From veteran entertainment reporter Sam Kashner and biographer Nancy Schoenberger comes the definitive account of the greatest Hollywood love story ever told--the romance of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Kashner has interviewed Elizabeth Taylor numerous times and is the only journalist given access to her extensive collection of personal letters and journals, and he and Schoenberger have also interviewed the Burton family at length, including Burton's actress daughter Kate. This is truly an authorized and singularly informed biography of these two larger-than-life stars, and of their glamorous, volatile, and audacious relationship.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>He was a tough-guy Welshman softened by the affections of a breathtakingly beautiful woman. She was a modern-day Cleopatra madly in love with her own Mark Antony. For nearly a quarter of a century, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were Hollywood royalty, and their fiery romance--often called the marriage of the century--was the most notorious, publicized, and celebrated love affair of its day. </p><p>Shocking and unsparing in its honesty, <em>Furious Love</em> explores the very public marriage of Liz and Dick as well as the private struggles of Elizabeth and Richard. But it is much more than a celebrity biography; it's an honest yet sympathetic portrait of a man, a woman, and a passion that shocked and mesmerized the world. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[An] entertaining, blow-by-blow account of the life and times of an epic Hollywood couple...
