So you dream of a passionate relationship?

Elizabeth Taylor on her marriage with Mike Todd:

'Out of my perversity I'd try to drive Mike mad. I'd be late, I'd love it when he would lose his temper and dominate me. I'd start to purr because he'd won.'

In Roger Lewis' biography 'Erotic Vagrancy.'

Lewis comments 'Yet didn't it mean she'd won?'

Indeed so.

Sadly, he died before becoming one of her divorces!

A good chum recalled meeting her and Richard Burton in a hotel in Rye several years ago.

She was absolutely charming the whole evening, despite a running supply of G and Ts!
