Elizabeth Taylor - The Lost Love - by Richard Bassett

Many called Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor's relationship 'THE' romance of the 20th Century, far outweighing the press they received than of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. The English couple retired into quiet country life. Richard and Elizabeth went on to (if it was even possible) achieve even more fame and fortune, personally and professionally. Their earlier romance was based of unity and passion. They had both given up their respective spouses to be together. They made their blended families work while jet setting all over the globe, making box office hit films and acquiring million dollar jets, yachts and jewelry. In the end, Elizabeth has often said that it was too much. They parted ways, only to get together...they parted ways once more, and came together professionally. Needless to say, they could not be without each other. I am convinced that, had he not died, Richard would have returned to Elizabeth after she was discharged from 'The Betty Ford Center'. Elizabeth thought so as well. But it wasn't meant to be. To hide her grief, Elizabeth plunged forward into the fight with AIDS. In viewing these short film clips, please donate to the cause that has become Dame Elizabeth Taylor's life mission for over two decades. The eradication of AIDS in the world. Until such time, "The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation" funds programs and organization that give direct care to the population of millions affected with HIV/AIDS...whether it is direct care or related/ associated services. So many people are now living longer with AIDS/HIV due to advances in viral medication technology, but the impact of living a life with AIDS is far reaching. AIDS affects all of us, in one way or another. Generations of young people are not conscious of the 1980's. The face of AIDS has changed since the time when those who were ill were visibly stigmatized, akin to being lepers. Now, those with HIV/AIDS live life among the general population attempting to cope with the disease. Sometimes, silently. Emotionally, the impact is just the same as those first diagnosed. Fear. The only solution is to rid the world of this disease, therefore opening a technological highway aimed to ignite the remedy to so many other diseases as well.
Any amount of time or money will push this development ahead, not behind...never behind!
Thank you, Richard Bassett

I love this video even if it's really sad. It really showcases how much they loved each other and needed to be in each other's lives...

I love the song too, I know it by heart! :)

Thanks for making this video...

People all over the world love Richard and Elizabeth more than any other aspect of her life. I love her AIDS work, of course...but I like the turbulence years: 1956-1964, the best. That was when she told the world to go to hell and got The Pope mad at her!  Richard

I Love this Song!

I think it's sad because Richard was Elizabeth's lost love. As much as they loved each other they couldn't make it work together and then Richard died before they had a chance to get it right. :(

Also make sure to send feedback to Richard Bassett when you watch one of his videos. He's a much bigger fan of Elizabeth than I am and has devoted a lot of time to making this awesome video collection as a tribute to her. So he deserves all the feedback he can get! :)

[mollyvital]
