Because you asked so nicely, anon, (and I thought I’d play with ChatGPT) here’s a summary written by AI:
Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's relationship is a legendary chapter in Hollywood's history. Their story began when they fell in love on the set of "Cleopatra" in 1961, igniting a scandalous affair. Although they had met previously at a party, where Taylor initially dismissed Burton as "swaggering and vulgar," their reconnection on the movie set sparked an undeniable connection.
Their tumultuous relationship was known for its intensity and drama. They married and divorced twice, first marrying in 1964 and divorcing in 1974, then remarrying in 1975 only to divorce again the following year. Their marriage was marked by personal struggles, including Burton's alcoholism, Taylor's addiction to pills, and a mutual penchant for dramatics.
Elizabeth Taylor, throughout her life, married seven men in eight marriages, with Richard Burton being the only one she married twice. Despite the multiple marriages and the ups and downs of her life, Taylor's relationship with Burton remains one of the most memorable, often described as the first ever "It" relationship of the celebrity world. The enduring love and passion they shared, despite their separations, have made their story a fascinating part of Hollywood lore.
Elizabeth Taylor's words about Richard Burton reveal the depth and complexity of their relationship. In a heart-wrenching final love letter to Burton, Taylor expressed profound love and a sense of loss, saying, "Richard, my always, forever love, this is really just for me, maybe you can hear and feel my soul. I think you probably always can, I think you are aware of everything that goes on in this odd brain of mine. It’s always filled with you, but, of course, sometimes more than others. Right now, I am brimming with you, you so pervade my thoughts and my very inner mood that it’s like you are in me. I have you, but holy God I don’t!"
In the same letter, Taylor expressed regret for any pain she caused Burton and reaffirmed her undying love for him, "Oh God. Richard, I loved you so and I will love you for the rest of my life, just let me say it to you and please hear my heart—I love you, I love you, I love you and I thank God for you."
Moreover, Taylor's reminiscence of Burton extended into her later life. She planted night-blooming jasmine near her bedroom because its scent reminded her of a trip they had taken to Mexico together. On one occasion, she opened the doors to her terrace, breathed in the flowers' fragrant aroma, and said, "I smelled Richard. It was like he was there."

Liz and Dick somewhere in 1967.
They walked out on stage, whereupon Richard smoked a cigarette and sang a song from Camelot, followed by him dropping the cig, crushing it out, and then leaving.
Because? Middle-aged cool circa 1967.
