Elizabeth Taylor 1970s Handwritten Love Letter to Richard Burton
Located in Jersey, GB
The unique Elizabeth Taylor Richard Burton love letter:
A love letter written, in pencil, by Elizabeth Taylor to her husband Richard Burton on their ten year wedding anniversary, March 15th 1974, just days before their breakup.
Taylor and Burton were renting a house in Oroville, California while Burton was filming his latest movie "The Klansman". Their lease on the home began on February 15th 1974.
The letter reads in full:
"My darling (my still) my husband. I wish I could tell you of my love for you, of my fear, my delight, my pure animal pleasure of you - (with you) - my jealousy, my pride, my anger at you, at times.
Most of all my love for you, and whatever loves you can dole out to me - I wish I could write about it but I can't. I can only "boil and bubble" inside and hope you understand how I really feel.
Anyway I lust thee, your (still) wife. P.S. O'Love, let us never take each other for granted again! P.P.S. How about that- ten years!!"
Taylor had warned Burton from the start of their marriage in 1964 that she had zero tolerance for infidelity. However during the filming of When Eagles Dare, Burton resumed an affair with co-star Mary Ure. After that, Taylor made sure she was on set with Burton every day in 1969 for the shooting of Anne of the thousand days.
A further affair with co-star Genevieve Bujold lasted many years. An affair with Nathalie Delon followed in 1972, along with rumors of an affair with Raquel Welch.
Taylor finally lost patience during the filming of The Klansman when Burton commenced an affair with "a teenager, a hotel waitress and a string of other women."
The love letter is accompanied by a letter of provenance from Toni Hennings, the woman who rented the Oroville house to them:
"This letter written by Elizabeth Taylor while renting my home from Feb 15th till April 18th 1974. It was left behind - inside a book in a drawer under the master bedroom bed...
