Hey farmerman, on the new topics page, do you have "filter noise" or "all topics" selected? (Tabs at the top left side of the page, right under the title "New Topics".)

Discuss?

I know she broke up at least 2 marriages.

Tell me about it dearie, It must have been very traumatic.
That Eddie Fisher was a real putz. I remeber my mom used to listen to him somewhere. I hated his sound, so fuckin saccharine and 50's.
I was musically quite precocious for an 8 year old in 1958. I used to like Soupy SAles music. If Liz woulda married Soupy, I would have been very happy.

Hold this...

I take the OPPOSITE point of vu,
in MY tastes. I accept the concept that song
SHOUD be sweet, and I enjoyed the 50s; comfortable.
Ike was good.

I enjoyed the flavor of the 40s too;
it was a different world; felt good, especially the 2nd half of the 40s.

We started those years off with a BANG or 2!





David

I wasnt yet a gamete in the 40's

That was not my fault.

'Cat on a hot tin roof' with Paul Newman. The first time I saw her on screen I was shocked by her beauty but later on disliked her for her behavior.

Was it not Taylor-made behavior?

I say that we move all this over to JEs thread on Liz TAylor and Ill just shut this one off.

Ill turn out the lights

Eddie Fisher always made me feel creepy. He's kinda sleazy.
She was also very public with her affections with Burton when he was still married to Sybil.

I'm not a particularly moral person, but for me, that's so hurtful to the other spouse.



Hmmm....just because I'm a geek and OCD when it comes to numbers, I looked up her times of marriage, and amount of time between each.


Taylor was married eight times to seven husbands:

Conrad "Nicky" Hilton (May 6, 1950 – January 29, 1951) (divorced)
Married for almost 9 months, stayed single for a yearish.

Michael Wilding (February 21, 1952 – January 26, 1957) (divorced)
Married 5 years, stayed single for one week.

Michael Todd (February 2, 1957 – March 22, 1958) (widowed)
Married a little over a year before Todd died, stayed single for 14 months (she was in mourning for a while I'd suppose)

Eddie Fisher (May 12, 1959 – March 6, 1964) (divorced)
Married about 5 years, stayed single 9 days.

Richard Burton (March 15, 1964 – June 26, 1974) (divorced)
Richard Burton (October 10, 1975 – July 29, 1976) (divorced)
****, I'm counting this as a 10 year marriage with a break in there toward the end.
Stayed single for 4 months

John Warner (December 4, 1976 – November 7, 1982) (divorced)
Married 6 years, stayed single 9 years.

Larry Fortensky (October 6, 1991 – October 31, 1996) (divorced)
Married 5 years. Remained single over 15 yrs.


I can't cast stones (well, I can, but I can't cast them too far) because I'm wife number 5 for Wally.
He married wife #1 for 6 years, divorced for about a week, then she became wife #2 for another 6.
I count that as one wife for 12 or 13 years.

#3 was the mother of his kid, another 6 years

#4 was a mistake, married less than 2 years. I married husband #1 at the same time as he married that one, and we divorced at the same time to run off together.
Neither of those spouses knew for until about 10 years. Why drag unnecessary pain into it.
Of course we don't appear in the tabloids, but all parties concerned were known well enough in our circle.

I have to wonder how many beaus she went through between marriages, and if she did the same thing, drop one for another.
I wonder if she just always had to have someone around

Seems like she was in love with being in love.

oh ****, well here I am sitting in the dark.

where's that flashlight?

thump.
