Summary of sam kashner's furious love

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The first time Richard Burton laid eyes on Elizabeth Taylor, he nearly laughed out loud. She was so extraordinarily beautiful that he thought she was too much, and she was totally ignoring him. #2 Elizabeth and Richard Burton met in 1962 on the set of Cleopatra. Elizabeth was at the height of her raven beauty, but she seemed older than her twenty-nine years. She had been married three times and widowed once. #3 Elizabeth's third husband, Mike Todd, was the epitome of a self-made man. He was part showman, part hustler, and part genius. He was the complete opposite of her husband Michael Wilding, and thus the complete opposite of her mild-mannered father. #4 Elizabeth was married to Mike Todd for 13 months, from March 1958 to May 1959. She was extremely fond of him, and he her, but she was also extremely devastated when he died in a plane crash. She turned to Todd's closest friend and protégé, the crooner Eddie Fisher, who was married to Debbie Reynolds at the time.
