Good story-VERY detailed

Revisado: 09-17-21

I enjoyed it. I'm a painter and im always on the hunt for something to listen to. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor have been a mild curiosity of mine for quite awhile now.
Don't think I've ever finished a biography/autobiography leaving with a significantly diminished view of the subject(s)
It has always annoyed me to no end how the Hollywood overlords clearly seemed to fawn all over the likes of Elizabeth Taylor vs in heavy contrast to the horrid and downright cruel way that they regarded Marilyn Monroe among other "stars" in that era
The insider favoritism and nepotism has always been so blatant to me, that I was hoping to gain insight into *WHY* this Hollywood caste system existed and *WHY* Taylor was treated like insider royalty.
Unfortunately, instead of having some of those questions answered for me, the book only exacerbated them. Producers and executives bestowing Elizabeth with the expensive jewels that she demanded after every film...A near BANKRUPT FOX STUDIO continually flying her out her favorite chille from LA to ROME, 1 million dollar salaries+perks and script approvals.
Industry perks in which other Actresses had to fight tooth and nail to win.
Overall a really great book, although I had to pause it a few times and step away bc my annoyance levels would periodically hit the roof.
It dawned on me a few chapters in that
thier grotesquely pampered and self- indulgent lifestyles were propped up against a backdrop of extreme economic hardship, wars, and turmoil for the rest of the global peasantry.
Did they give back?
NOT REALLY.
In fact, true for Hollywood even today,
the author casually informs the listener that they were constantly jet setting around the world and bouncing from Country to Country to exploit every possible tax loophole on the books.
Why this woman is continually praised for being such a noble charitable Philanthropist is beyond me.

The last notable issue ive pieced together is the cozy relationship that the Burtons among so many other "stars" seem to have with key political figures, the Rothschilds, Queen of England and Royal members from all over the planet.
It seems as though there wasn't a Communist leader they didn't schmooze and booze with either.

Why did the American "Revolution" happen again, exactly?😆

Fortunately, the book reassures us by the end that all of the Burton/ Taylor spawn have safely inherited their "birthright" without a hitch.
Curiously, in spite of the childrens chaotic upbringing ( in which the rest of us mere mortals would struggle to keep up scholastically,)
THEIR children were miraculously eligible to attend the fanciest and most intellectual schools,
they were evidently so talented that they were bestowed with Hollywood careers too.
Alas, the Burtin Taylor legacy shall continue with their progeny.
Perhaps this will give readers comfort as they absorb the last few chapters which are bleak and depressing.
The weight of their lifestyle eventually collapsed and crashed on their heads towards the bitter end.

Just ok

Is there some *CONSPIRACY* The boring droll untalented "book narrators union" enjoys a virtual monopoly on all of the gigs here or something? Geeze HIRE BETTER NARRATORS.
As for the book, it's insightful, its entertaining enough -but anytime the "Kennedy killed her" conspiracy theory comes up, the author gets an eye roll and loses major credibility points with me. There's far more plausible people who could have done her in if we are to go down that route. The Author also seems to have an inexplicable preoccupation with brown nosing Arthur Miller. An ok book for a free credit.

Why are they *ALL* connected to one another? Even Ted's attorney is weaved in this massive spider web. Unbelievable.

Irritating and tedious

Revisado: 08-06-21

Author does mental backflips just to avoid the completely obvious culprits in Ripper case.
