Elizabeth Taylor


I noticed Elizabeth Taylor on the IMDB cast list in an uncredited role. Anyone know in what scene she appears?

Second that question. I noticed it too and browsed the whole board to see if that question was answered.

We will watch it soon and see if we notice her.

I think it has to do with a joke on Burton. In a rehearsal, she appeared in the bed next to O'Toole in the scene where Henry slept with the french girl.

As hey_teacher said. The editor talked about it in one of the extras on dvd. They put Elizabeth Taylor as a joke to be revealed in the bed with Henry, and wanted to see how Richard Burton would react. Unfortunately Richard's way of showing genuine surprise was to swear, so the clip was unusable. The editor regrets now not saving that piece of film material anyway.

Wait! Does this also mean putting out doesn't get you love?

Is she still listed though? I couldn't see her name on the list. I've read she was on location with Burton during the filming of this movie. She often did that, she also had an uncredited role as a courtesan in Ann of the thousand days. I've seen pictures of her on the set of Becket wearing a blonde wig. But I don't think she's in the movie or can be seen for that matter. Maybe she was just an extra in the crowd.
