Elizabeth Taylor's Marriage With Eddie Fisher Was MUCH Nastier Than You Think

In the spring of 1959, one of the most successful recording artists in America signed away nearly everything he owned so that he could end his marriage in a hurry and wed the widow of his closest friend. Five years later, standing at the edge of a Roman film set, he watched his wife conduct an affair in front of the world's press while his own career quietly finished dying. Eddie Fisher paid an extraordinary price to become Elizabeth Taylor's fourth husband. By the end she could barely stand to hear his name. So what did the wrecked reputation and the emptied bank account actually buy him, and why did Taylor, a woman who never lacked for scandal, speak of this particular marriage with something closer to shame than to regret? Join me to find out.
