All true but leaves so much out. Debbi and Eddie were Taylor's close friends and Debbie asked Eddie to take care of Elizabeth in her grief. He did. They got very close over their grief. Cleopatra was over budget and a huge disappointment. She went with Burton to Puerto Vallarta when he filmed, with John Huston the director, the Night of the Iguana, which nobody remembers. They stayed in a hotel there that is still mentioned in tours of PV. Elizabeth Taylor was not in the film, Ava Gardner was. But that is when Taylor and Burton really made their affair public. As a young woman I admired her for her beauty and for doing what she wanted. Both were married. Taylor married seven times, twice to Burton.

I have lived in Northern California for ten years though I have always felt like a California girl. I spent most of my adult life in Seattle.
