Academy Award nominee Helena Bonham Carter (The King’s Speech, The Lone Ranger) and Golden Globe nominee Dominic West (300, The Wire) star as Hollywood’s most famous volatile on-again-off-again lovers in this new 90-minute drama from BBC AMERICA. Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor had one of the most fascinating, glamorous and tempestuous relationships of the 20th century – the two most famous movie stars of their day who played out every high and low of their love affairs, multiple marriages and divorces right in the public eye. Burton and Taylor follows their private and public relationship played out against their ill-fated appearance in a 1983 revival of Noel Coward‘s stage play, Private Lives. Tempestuous, funny, and dripping with diamonds – this is the last battle of the Burtons.
