Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton Kiss | General Hospital Spoof | October 3, 1982

Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton kiss on Bob Hope's Star-Studded Spoof of the New TV Season, October 3, 1982
From UPI:
Miss Taylor and Burton, twice married and divorced from one another, kissed passionately in front of cameras during the sketch titled 'Not So General Hospital,' in which Miss Taylor plays a nurse and Burton a patient.
The couple, whose on-again-off-again romance and marriages filled tabloid pages for two decades, arrived and departed in separate automobiles.
Miss Taylor and Burton, performing together for the first time on television since their appearance on a Lucille Ball show 11 years ago, spent hours chatting in Taylor's dressing room between shooting scenes for seven hours at the network's Burbank studios. They also dined together earlier in the week.

Bob Hope
Bob Hope rose to the top of every medium he touched: headliner in Vaudeville, Broadway star, radio icon, movie idol and superstar on television. His persona reached audiences of every age in every decade of the 20 th century.
A popular star in Vaudeville, it was Broadway’s “Roberta” where Bob eventually caught the eyes of critics. In 1938, NBC signed him for a radio show that became a fixture in American homes. It wasn’t long before Paramount called on Bob. He went on to make 50+ feature films, including the hugely popular “Road Pictures” with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour. In 1950, his TV career officially launched with “Star Spangled Revue.”
An accomplished man, Bob’s greatest legacy was his commitment to American service personnel. For nearly six decades, at war or at peace, “G.I. Bob” crossed the globe with 57 USO tours for troops in WW II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and the Persian Gulf War. In the history of show business, no one traveled so far, so often, to entertain so many.

Richard and Liz gave the term "toxic relationship" a whole new meaning.

[@suehart919]

With Eluzabeth & Richard you could always feel the passion in the air. And Elizabeth was a fan of General Hospital.

Anthony Geary said that he was having a romance with Elizabeth Taylor during this time. Hence, that real kiss he gave her. This was a funny skit and it was fun to see Glenn Ford and Richard Burton joining in.

[@DNBursky]

That was a joke between them, he's gay.

Tony geary gay

[@seanm6215]

​@@DNBursky I've heard all the rumors. I'm assuming they were just really tight friends. She is someone who would say yes just to protect him. He really didn't come out as gay until a few years ago after he retired.

[@LaurieTijerina]

She's getting kisses from all the men! 😂

Eight minutes loaded with hilarious surprises, crazy dialogue ... and not for nothing, that freakin' huge diamond, talk about a scene stealer!!

[@rosecostanzo341]

This was a great skit all legendary actors Glen stole alot of kisses but. I think each kiss was more legendary for the guys . Burton united with Taylor was fantastic they really were passionate about each other.

So is Hope.

[@Irishgirl7]

He was lucky that his wife took him back….as in Bob Hope.

[@SR-iy4gg]

Bob wasn't a saint in real life either when it came to the ladies.

[@melaniemansfield3319]

They must have had a very odd relationship. Money always talks. She might have lived very well and rarely had to see him. Might have been a good deal. Not seeing much of Bob Hope 🥴So easy to cover up the real truth. Bob could have been born a female 🤫you never know. Hollyweard after all.
