I have a long standing girl crush on Helena Bonham Carter, fascinating, epically beautiful and one hell of an actress. And this first picture, as released by the BBC ahead of the Burton & Taylor biopic, embodies just why I love HBC so.
With a focus on the final reunion between Richard Burton, played by Dominic West and Liz Taylor, on the set of the 1983 stage revival of Noel Coward’s Private Lives play, the BBC4 drama takes a look at the pair – who had already been married and divorced twice – and their once tempestuous but now broken relationship.
