If people think they hear too much about the Kardashians today, they should have been around 40 years ago. Back then not a week would go by without hearing what Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were or were not doing, were or were not wearing, eating, drinking, driving, fighting about or cheating with.
The closest we have to Burton in today’s actors may be George Clooney offstage and Jon Hamm onstage via Mad Men, Russell Crowe and Christian Bale come close. I don’t keep up with most today’s movies, but I can not think of any woman of today who compares in totality with Elizabeth Taylor, as she was both on and offstage.
Not a week goes by with out Jennifer Aniston being on the cover of a magazine.
Not that she's today's Elizabeth Taylor, but she certainly gets the publicity.
