Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton – Enjoying Their Lives in the Big Sur

Many people don’t know that the ’60s movie “The Sandpiper” wasn’t actually Elizabeth Taylor and her husband Richard Burton’s first collaboration. The two had previously been in various films, including “Cleopatra” and “The V.I.P.S.” However, considering that it was shot at Big Sur, this was possibly one of the most artistic places in terms of its surroundings.

“The Sandpiper” was not a critical hit, but it became legendary and developed a massive cult following. Taylor and Burton, like their turbulent romance, finally called it quits, but the legendary actress remains an icon to this day. In fact, she was named the seventh-greatest female legend of classic Hollywood cinema by AFI.
