The then-married actors Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor in Burton’s trailer during the filming of the 1971 film Villain. The couple, both highly successful film stars, were twice married and twice divorced. According to the Associated Press, Burton bequeathed the bulk of his 2.7 million dollar estate to his fourth wife, Sally Hay Burton. He left Taylor nothing. In Taupin’s rendition, the doomed lovers pose before dollar-sign wallpaper, holding Cupid’s broken wings.
