The tempestuous and iconic relationship between these two Hollywood legends began on the set of the 1963 epic *Cleopatra*. Their ensuing affair became a global scandal, as both were married to other people at the time. Their first marriage in 1964 kicked off a decade of lavish living, legendary arguments, and intense public fascination, cementing their status as one of the world's most famous couples. They starred in 11 films together, including the critically acclaimed *Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?*
After a bitter and highly publicized divorce in June 1974, the pair found they could not stay apart. They reconciled and, in October 1975โjust 16 months after their first splitโthey married for a second time in a remote ceremony in Kasane, Botswana. This reunion, however, proved even more volatile than their first union.
The second marriage was incredibly short-lived, and they divorced for the final time less than a year later, in July 1976. Despite the two failed marriages, both actors often spoke of the other as the great (Review) love of their life, making their story a classic Hollywood tale of a love that was too passionate to last, yet too strong to completely let go.
