BURTON & TAYLOR (BBC AMERICA)
BROADCAST HISTORY:
10/16/13
STATUS:
telefilm/mini-series in the can
DESCRIPTION:
(from BBC America's press release, August 2013) BAFTA award-winning actors Dominic West (The Hour, The Wire) and Helena Bonham Carter (Les Misérables, The King's Speech) star as Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor - Hollywood's most volatile on-again-off-again lovers who famously played out every high and low of their love affairs, multiple marriages and divorces right in the public eye. Recognized as one of the most fascinating, glamorous and tempestuous relationships of the 20th century, Burton and Taylor made their last stage appearance together in the critically reviled 1983 revival of Noel Coward's stage play, Private Lives. This is the story of their ill-fated reunion, on and off stage. Burton and Taylor, a BBC AMERICA co-production, premieres Wednesday, October 16, 9:00pm ET/PT as part of Dramaville.
