    125K for a mink coat in 1969 was a huge sum…Now a days women don't wear fur coats… To the back lash against "Wearing fur".. Elizabeth Taylor was a Beautiful woman…

    If Mr. Tony has returned to Puerto Vallarta recently, he will see that the former Villa of the Burton's is now a magnificent boutique hotel. It's absolutely gorgeous and the renovation is beautiful. There are tributes everywhere to Elizabeth and Richard, even her heart shaped tub has been preserved!

    What a wonderful interview, I truly enjoyed Mr. Tony's insight about the private life of Elizabeth and Richard. The pictures by Mr. Haynsworth are beautiful as well. What a couple, there were something else and who do we have today that equals them?

    Hollywood golden couple. The no nonsense Welshman and the queen of Hollywood meet. Next comes the fire and the passion. Amazing couple..

    Not only is or was her b-day one day after mine but we both had/have vertigo! I thought I was the only one that had vertigo and a bad back together…so much in common. And now migraines as well?! I refused Botox for them. It's poison. Oh, and my love for furs and jewelry…everyone has always believed I' was nuts. I probably am. I wear my fur coat to bed…lol…so much in common.

    Prints from this series of photographs are now available for a limited time.

    I loved this story. Ive never met Tony but I knew Mr. Stanley. That house in Vallarta is named Casa Kimberley. Richard bought it when they were there for him to film Night of the Iguana. She sold it to Toy Holstein in 1996 and Toy turned into a museum and bed and breakfast I met Toy my second time in Vallarta and returned too many times to count.I always stayed at Casa Kimberley. I learned a lot about Elizabeth and Richard while helping give tours. Ive seen many pictures of them both in the house but it was still nice to see these few pictures. Thanks Tony for the story and reminding me what a great house it was and how much I miss Vallarta. And yes Elizabeth was still very beautiful in 1969.

    That is a great story. John took a few pics of my kids on the beach in 1996-97 and they are amazing. I was lucky to know him.

    Thank you Tony Briggle for sharing the story with us.

  26. Judith Ann Angel says

    What a fascinating story. Tony Briggle is charming & has a great sense of humor. So much fun to listen to him. Richard Burton sounds like he could be a tough SOB. No wonder she was drinking so much.
