Elizabeth Taylor and 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' fans will know this, but let's share this fun fact with others! Martha's husband George, a disillusioned professor, played by Richard Burton was married (twice!) to Elizabeth Taylor in real life! Some would say their tumultuous marriage was reflected in their performance, making it hard to tell if the couple were arguing in real life or just following the script.

Watch the play for yourselves to see a complex marriage unfold before your eyes!
