Liz Taylor Done With Marriage
Jan. 16 -- Film diva Elizabeth Taylor,who has been married eight times, vowed during a rare liveinterview Monday never to tie the knot again, although shesaid she could live with a man again if he had a good sense ofhumor.
Taylor, who turns 69 next month, told CNN's Larry KingLive she'd had two great loves in her life: Richard Burton,whom she married twice and divorced twice, and Michael Todd,who died in a plane crash after just 13 months of marriage.
She said she still adored Sen. John Warner, a VirginiaRepublican, to whom she was briefly married.
But she was less kind about crooner Eddie Fisher, whom shemarried in 1958, stealing him away from his then-wife DebbieReynolds. "I don't even want to mention his name," she said.
No Harsh Feelings From Reynolds
Taylor and Reynolds have teamed up to make a televisionmovie, titled These Old Broads, that airs on ABC next month.
The two will join Shirley MacLaine and Joan Collins in atwo-hour singing and dancing comedy replete with pettyjealousies, diamonds, phony British accents and the comebacksof aging screen divas.
She told CNN she and Reynolds had often talked or "dished"about Fisher, whom they referred to as "Harry Hunter," and thatReynolds was no longer angry at her.
"We got over all that so long ago," she said.
In fact, the ABC movie includes a scene in which Taylor andReynolds spar over an old incident in which Taylor's characterstole the husband of Reynolds' character. "I did you a favor bytaking Freddy away," says Taylor. "I would have been perfectlyable to lose Freddy on my own," retorts Reynolds.
Asked in Monday's interview if she would marry again,Taylor shot back: "No."
"That's it?" asked interviewer King.
"Yes!" she replied.
"You're done?" he pressed.
"Yes," she said, adding, "I'd live with someone if he werecute, intelligent, compassionate, adorable, had a good sense ofhumor."
