Elizabeth Taylor's mother, Sara Taylor, wrote this article about the importance of good oral hygiene in keeping smiles lovely. From one of the mid-1940s issues of DENTAL HEALTH.
Score by JOHNNY GREEN.
Green was the director of the MGM music department in the 1950s. He also conducted musicals such as AN AMERICAN IN PARIS. He did not do many other original scores but his epic RAINTREE COUNTY is a landmark in the field.
The promotional art for the cover is unusual, with Taylor looking rather contemporary. (The film is set in 1800s America). But it is in keeping with the daringly erotic nature of Ross Lockridge, Jr.'s original best selling novel.

I cut the image of Liz and Dick from a recent supplement (Parade Magazine) to our local Sunday newspaper and thought I would do something with them someday. Well today is the day. Background is a 1964 lithograph (with serigraphy) by Andrew Stasik entitled "Spring Rite". The word balloon (from a circa 1960s ad for a used book store) says: "I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes." (attributed to Ulysses James Joyce)
Before 1964 Puerto Vallarta was a quiet fishing town. Then the film production for Night of the Iguana arrived looking for a shooting locale. The film was not only a huge Hollywood production, it's main male star had brought his soon-to-be wife with him. That would be Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor.
Their romance was an international press magnet followed in all the major magazines and newspapers. So when Night of the iguana arrived in Puerto Vallarta, the press also descended on the town. The international press coverage put Puerto Vallarta front and centre on the international stage, turning it overnight into "the place" to go. Years later (I'm not sure when) a grateful Puerto Vallarta built this sign at the filming location of Night of the Iguana as a monument to the film.
And apparently after a rocky start (Burton apparently told director John Houston that Elizabeth Taylor's accommodations weren't acceptable, leading to Houston handing her the keys to his own home), many of the film's cast and crew fell in love with Puerto Vallarta right back. John Houston continued to visit and live in Mexico in general for the rest of his life. Burton and Taylor purchased permanent homes across from each other in the town centre, even connecting them with a bridge based on The Bridge of Sighs in Venice so that neither had to walk across the street to see the other. Burton's home eventually became known as the "Dog House" as that was where he would go to when Taylor kicked him out of their shared home during one of their famous arguments. The bridge between them became known locally as El Puente de Reconciliación, or the "Bridge for Making Up".
For years the Burton and Taylor came to visit Puerto Vallarta. They brought their children down and partly raised them there. They became involved in local business and even "adopted" the nephew of their neighbour (he's now an internationally known photographer, actually) who had lost his mother. They became his god parents and took him around the world with them.
The houses they lived in are gone now, but the bridge still remains. It's a local spot most tour guides will point out to tourists with a touch of pride. And the sign remains too, a little abused by age and the passage of time, but still marking the place where it all began.

She had a much publicised private life, including eight marriages and several near death experiences. Taylor was considered one of the great actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age.
