Finally, the truth can be told, and you will read it here exclusively.
It was 1961, and Elizabeth Taylor was off filming Cleopatra in Rome. Then husband Eddie Fisher was staying at home in Los Angeles. It was during this time that Elizabeth Taylor met and began a torrid love affair with Richard Burton.
Was poor Eddie Fisher sitting at home alone at night? Well, not quite. He happened to meet up with a stunning bombshell female TV star from the Ernie Kovac's television show - Sue Kennedy*. Sue, who died in 2007, met Eddie Fisher, and ended up having quite the affair with him, while Elizabeth Taylor was filming Cleopatra.
Sue Kennedy had access to Elizabeth Taylor's dressing area of her home. Sue saw that Elizabeth Taylor had all custom made make-up, including lipstick. One time at the Fisher & Taylor estate, Sue snatched a tube of this custom blended lipstick and gave it a very close friend. This close friend is the Aunt of the author.
When the press learned about the Taylor-Burton affair, it created a media firestorm of negative publicity for the two of them. Some people felt sorry for Eddie Fisher; but the affair with Sue Kennedy never made it in the press. The lipstick was used down to the last morsel.
Fisher and Taylor divorced on March 6, 1964. Burton and Taylor got married on March 15, 1964. Sue Kennedy ended up marrying a major force in television, and was never able to get another sample of Elizabeth Taylor's lipstick.
Rest in Peace, Eddie Fisher. Now you can see Sue again.
