Near the end of Richard Burton's life, when he was engaged to be married to Sally Ann Hay and despite rumours he was still sending her love letters, the truth is he'd gone right off Elizabeth Taylor. Not having seen her for some time they met up in early 1983 to rehearse for _Private Lives:_ *_"E's [Elizabeth Taylor's] face OK but figure splop! Also drinking. Also has not yet read the play! That's my girl! Became very sentimental. ‘Please don't marry Sally for my sake for a long time’ ‘I have no dates.’ She is very lonely... Feel sorry for her. A mass of mess. Poor thing. ‘I have no dates’ means ‘nobody wants me for myself.’ True too!_* *_"ET [Elizabeth Taylor] only 15 minutes late but then spent 15 minutes more doing her eyebrows. She stinks of garlic - who has garlic for breakfast? She is also on something or other because there are lines here and there which she can't say at all... She is also terribly low in energy. Tells me twice an hour how lonely she is._* *_"...ET impossibly sloshed all day long."_* RICHARD BURTON _Diary; March.1983_ pub.2012

Just had thyroid surgery. Inside the lump was my twin

Ironically, the president wants to create a government program where the private sector already has an “excellent “ solution. Says a lot.

Need this toxic love

my sister had a biopsy recently and now i got her on my contacts list as BOBOPSY jajajajaja

"I actually fell for him. IT. THAT. THERE", can't believe Liz Taylor invented non-binary pronouns.

Best line..." God, I'm sorry. I love my country."

Yes the president lies from time to time 😂

My son is also called Phil Bahaarnd

She is peerless

"Not on your salary! Not on an associate professor's salary!" Bile, venom, and Brilliance. She's grotesquely marvelous. My god.

This scene 🤣 every time! ❤

George and Martha sad sad sad

I'm waiting for the day they have a Dr Pimple Popper episode like this

Before they destroyed Toby’s character later on in the series.

It would’ve just been perfect if when they say their goodbyes, the butterball hotline lady goes goodbye Mr. President

Its the simple things in life

Customer Service mellenials should take notes on how to do a great job being patient and tolerate the customer! ❤

The bobopsy 😂😂😂😂😂

My 84 year old dad needs to have a thyroid nodule biopsy in August. He's a little squeamish and sort of a hypochondriac. I'm going to remind him of Aunt Voula's story while we are in the waiting room to lighten the mood.

Everyone knows a Martha in real life. Magnificent work, Oscar very deserved for Ms Taylor. Those who say she couldn’t act are crazy. Take a look at her career you fool, it’s WELL established.

There aren’t nearly enough Canadians to justify a Butterball Hotline. These are the times when being America’s neighbor really pays off. 🇺🇸 🍻 🇨🇦 (Canada and the US share the same country code, so a 1-800 number is toll-free for Canadians, too)

I was delighted to see that while the task of making America great, a close second was the proper preparation of turkey via the very knowledgeable staff operating the Butterball Hotline

such a nutty little subplot but so amazing.

You would never think that a movie about two drunk people ( a husband and wife) arguing, shouting and screaming while entertaining guests, could be so outstanding and riveting!! Superior acting by the everyone!!

The freaky thing about the dog is that it looks like a real taxidermy dog except for its cartoonish eyes.

This scene is immensely rewatchable.

It a false alarm i heard it on the news

It would have been hilarious if at the end, the lady said, "Thank you, Mr. President". Like she figured him out but was playing along lol

"That was excellent! We should do this once a week!"

Please please please tell me there is fan fiction about the do-gooding adventures of Joe Bethersonton and Phil Baharndt in Fargo, North Dakota.

Film che ti lascia con il fiato sòsoeso. Burton e Taylor da oscar Due mostri sacri ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Shes was the best, no one coildplay this role but her. It shows you why She was who she was. Untouchable as an actress to this day

Acting the truth of their public marriages/divorces, this is therapy for Americans

Oh my,i wonder if they ever managed to remove that!

“I’m a citizen!” -Joe Bethersonton, North Dakota

Wow

One of the best product placement integrations in the decade if not all time.

*1:25** A great, big, fat, FLOP!!!*

I love the aggressive camera work following Elizabeth around

Not Poseidon...

Reminds me of my ex-wife.

Someone can explain pls ??❤

She’s QUEEN OF THE HARPIES!!

Let’s face it, not only was she a fine actress she was a star on screen.

This movie is so perfect it sucks the energy out of you. So much raw emotion and claustrophobia all swirling around.

Rewatching this TV show for the umpteenth time. And I have to say this is the funniest scene in all 7 seasons.

Let's face it, Taylor made some real stinkers in her career, but this film really showed what a spectacular actress she could be with the right material, director and co-star. And, the mercurial nature of her real-life relationship with Burton gave her that much more to work with and elevated her performance even further. It's great that this movie got the recognition it deserved right from the outset and that Taylor was justifiably awarded her second Oscar.

My favorite line in this scene has to be: Is there a chance I might kill my dinner guests? Im not saying that's a deal breaker.
