I have always been skeptical about whether Richard Burton really has a leg with Monroe. The reason for suspicion is that Burton himself said in 1962 that he had sex with all the actresses in emotional dramas except Julie Andrews, and his scope of sex hunting should be limited to acting with him. Actress, and Monroe has never worked with him, so it shouldn't be.

However, this material was released by Burton's former spokesperson, and it should have a certain degree of credibility.

[Richard Burton’s former spokesperson, Michael Moon, pointed out that Burton had deceived his wife Hibill Williams and Marilyn Monroe since the 1950s, and another person who performed with him in the movie "A Rainstorm and a Sunny Day." Actress Lana Turner dating.

Burton Huaxin is no longer news, but it is the first time that the biography has linked his love history to Monroe. Michael Moon said that Burton and Monroe’s relationship was not short. Before Burton met Elizabeth Taylor, they had feelings from the 1950s to the early 1960s.

It wasn't until 1963 that Burton and Taylor filmed "Cleopatra" sparks of love, which not only ended his marriage with Hibir, but also announced the end of his underground relationship with Monroe. ]

However, I just discovered that the credibility of this material has increased again.

It turned out that when Monroe was preparing to film "Dragon and the Phoenix" in 1956, it was when Monroe was the most popular. She had the right to choose her own actor. Her choice was no one else, but Burton.

This story tells the story of a restrained, educated prince who met a blonde and passionate and sexy song and dance troupe girl, and fell under her pomegranate skirt.

From the perspective of her choosing Burton to play this role, in her eyes Burton is the most suitable person to play the prince.

The reason why Burton didn't take this role was because he had an appointment. He wants to shoot "The Boundless Sea". This proves once again that his vision of the film selection is poor, and this film is one of his series of bad films. The director thinks that he didn't act well at all, just for money.

I'm not going to talk about the specifics of the film for the time being. I have downloaded it and haven't had time to watch it. Back to the subject.

It is worth noting that in 55 and 56 Burton did have a relationship with the two blondes Turner and Monroe one after the other, which was in line with the revelations of his spokesperson. And the blonde who collaborated with him in "Rainstorm and Sunny" in 55 years, Hollywood's popular sexy actress Lana Turner did have a leg with him and became a member of his lover list.

So it is very possible that Monroe wanted him to be the actor because he had a leg with him. After all, these two are habitual offenders and their sexual behavior is very casual. She fell in love with Burton, and Burton shouldn’t look down on her, so it’s normal to close the bed as soon as he shoots. Get used to it.

After Burton was unable to act as Monroe's actor due to scheduling issues, Monroe had to find Burton's predecessor and former lover Lawrence Oliver. Oliver not only agreed to act, but also served as the director of the film. The two had a tryst in the studio of the Pine Forest Studio before, and they also had a chance.

So let me sort out this messy relationship. In the 1940s, Oliver × Burton in the 50s, Oliver × Monroe in the 50s, Burton × Monroe

In this way, the relationship between the three is clear at a glance.

ps: Actually, there is another relationship that is more chaotic and bloody. When "Cleopatra" was filmed for the first time in 1961, Taylor chose him to play Caesar because he had a relationship with Peter Finch.

So the relationship between this group of people can be listed as follows: Oliver × Monroe Oliver × Vivien Leigh Peter Finch × Vivien Leigh Peter Finch × Taylor Burton × Taylor Oliver × Burton Burton × Monroe

From this point of view, the three British superstars Oliver, Burton, and Finch are all gorgeous. They took Vivien Leigh, Taylor, and Monroe to sleep in turn, hahaha~

However, it turns out that Oliver is extremely difficult to get along with. The only one among his lovers who can maintain an intimate relationship with him until the end is Burton alone. This is completely due to Burton’s high EQ and his love for Burton. Given.

Even though Burton was doing the little love of his nemesis John Gilgood at the same time, he did not get angry because of it. Even in 1982, he cooperated with Gilgood for an unprecedented time and came to the "Wagner" crew to act as Burton's supporting role. , Trying to help Burton out of the trough of life. I have to say that his liking for Burton is real and lasting.

When he is a director, he is very self-righteous, stubborn and rude. The actor must follow his guidance completely, and he cannot have any free play and understanding.

Sure enough, he and Monroe soon fell out and quarreled with each other. Monroe said that he complimented her on the surface, but actually despised her very disgustingly in his heart.

But he said more harshly that he should send Monroe and Vivien Leigh to the same mental hospital. He was fed up with it, his patience was completely worn out.

I have to say that Oliver's character is really bad. Although Vivien Leigh is indeed mentally ill and tortured him a lot, she is still his wife. He even got involved with Monroe when he scolded Monroe, and attacked her for her mental illness, which was really shameful.
