Taylor and Burton, Timeless Romance
Argus / AP
Together Again
After divorcing in June 1974, the couple reconciled and secretly remarried 16 months later in Chobe National Park in Botswana. Their second marriage, however, was short-lived, and the couple divorced for a second time less than a year after the ceremony. Although no longer man and wife, the two would remain steadfast friends until Burton's death in 1984. Today, years after his death, Taylor wants the world to know the place Burton continues to hold in her heart, stating, "From those first moments in Rome, we were always madly and powerfully in love."
