'Every day was a big day in Elizabeth Taylor's life,' Nanette Burstein said.
Ahead of "Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes" documentary debut, the director of the film, Nanette Burstein, discussed the late film star's life, how she navigated struggles, the friendships she formed and the legacy she left.
Reflecting on the fascinating life of Taylor who inscribed the arc of 20th-century celebrity onto a blank page, Burstein told ABC News' Chris Connelly that Taylor's life was "under scrutiny 24/7." "You see the tears and the pain," she said. "Her closest friends were gay men in Hollywood who were publicly closeted, and she cherished her friendships. She felt safe with them, and they felt safe with her, she had zero homophobia."
After her marriage to Fisher ended, she began dating and eventually tying the knot with Welsh actor Richard Burton who was her co-star in "Cleopatra."Their romance, which took place on the set of the film, changed the nature of fame, according to Burstein.
