1966: Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton Interview

On 14 February 1966, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor gave a somewhat chaotic interview in an Oxford University corridor, having just finished the final rehearsal for a production of Christopher Marlowe's "Doctor Faustus".

Burton played the eponymous tragic hero, while Liz Taylor, in her first stage role, played Helen of Troy.
