Personal Quote:

I knew back in Rome when we were making Cleopatra that it would never work. Elizabeth [Taylor] doesn't just love someone; she possesses them. And Richard [Burton] isn't a man to be possessed. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. See more »

Trivia:

An accomplished ballroom dancer, he won both the Charleston and Cha-Cha contests on the The Arthur Murray Party. See more »
