How is it possible to take some of the highest-quality celebrity drama the world has ever known and turn it into a tedious slog?

ewg109's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

I actually stopped reading this one half through. After the pair's triumphant turn in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. I knew where it was heading and really didn't need to go there.

Loved every word of this.
fast-paced

Gossipy indulgence.

"Prometheus was punished by the gods forever and is still suffering in all of us for inventing fire and stealing it from the gods. I am forever punished by the gods for being given the fire and trying to put it out. The fire, of course, is you..." Richard Burton

This was trash- over long and justg a repeat of all the gossip I remember from the 1960's
