Elizabeth
Taylor
still
pines
for
late
hubby
Richard
Burton,
and
believes
that
they
would
have
got
married
for
the
third
time
if
the
Welshman
was
still
alive.
Burton's
niece,
Sian
Owen,
revealed
that
the
77-year-old
Taylor
was
still
very
much
in
love
with
Burton.
"I
was
in
America
last
summer
and
I
went
to
see
Elizabeth.
In
the
house
in
Bel
Air
I
saw
pictures
of
Uncle
Rich
everywhere
and
it's
a
picture
of
uncle
Rich
that's
by
her
bed
still," the
Telegraph
quoted
Owen
as
saying.
"She
still
says
that
had
he
lived
that
they'd
be
back
together
once
again
–
that
it
would
have
been
third
time
lucky.
They
were
mad
about
each
other.
"She
believes
that
in
the
last
years
in
their
lives
when
everything
had
been
toned
down
with
the
drinking
and
everything
else,
she
believes
that
they''d
be
together.
She's
certain
of
that,
they
were
soul
mates,"
Owen
added.
Burton
and
Taylor
had
come
close
during
the
making
of
1963
film
Cleopatra,
only
to
be
married
a
year
later.
Their
marital
life
lasted
for
10
years,
when
Burton"s
drinking
habit
became
the
reason
for
their
divorce
in
1974.
However,
the
pair
remarried
in
October
1975
but
split
up
within
11
months.
The
two
still
remained
close
notwithstanding,
their
second
divorce.
Speaking
about
Burton"s
wife
Sally
and
his
relationship
with
Taylor,
Owen
said:
"Even
when
he
was
married
to
Sally
and
living
in
Switzerland,
he
would
talk
for
hours
on
the
phone
with
Elizabeth.
I
would
say
to
Sally
that
I
would
never
put
up
with
that
but
she
didn't
have
much
choice."
