Love Stories From History — The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly!
LOVE STORIES FROM HISTORY (clip)
In this portion of her talk, Lorrisa spills the tea on Elizabeth Taylor, from her third husband Mike Todd, to Debbie Reynolds’ hubby Eddie Fisher, to the stormy and passionate saga with Richard Burton. It was standing room only for this fun presentation at Worth PLD!
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Award-winning romantic comedy filmmaker Lorrisa Julianus shares true stories to delight and entertain, whether Cupid is your bestie or a frenemy. No humdrum Henry VIII or Napoleon and Josephine here; prepare to be surprised! There’s the happily-ever-after that Cleopatra’s daughter found with an African prince to the dramatic love lives of Picasso, Gertrude Stein, Jonas Salk, Yennenga the Ghanaian warrior princess, and the OG Bennifer, Liz Taylor and Richard Burton. Topped off with a true tale akin to Stephen King joining the Bridgerton writers' room--the saga of notorious Lothario Lord Byron and the jilted scorpio who burned him in effigy. The course of historical love never did run smooth!
