When it comes to Hollywood royalty, there are few names that conjure more nostalgia and glamour than Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. A beloved and fascinating pairing, largely thanks to their famous affair during the production of Cleopatra. Following the 1963 picture, the two would go on to make 11 pictures together, including The Taming of the Shrew and The Sandpiper. However, there is no picture quite as tantalizing or profound as Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?—based on the play of the same name, the film is still considered one of the most important films in motion picture history, and is a remarkable cornerstone of both actors’ respective careers, let alone their collaborations. While you may have bypassed the movie in favor of more glamorous or romantic films from the Burton/Taylor days, we truly think that, by the end of this coverage, you’ll be rushing off to catch it!
