(I read the book about this case “A Very Different Love Story” long time ago.)


She was 22, a sheltered, dark-haired Bronx beauty said to look like Elizabeth Taylor.

He was a decade older, a suave lawyer who courted her with flowers, rides in his powder-blue Cadillac and trips to glittering Manhattan nightclubs. He was married, though not to her.

Before long, tiring of his unfulfilled promises to divorce his wife, she ended their affair. He hired three men, who threw lye in her face, blinding her, and went to prison for more than a decade.

Afterward, she married him.

Yes, indeed. :eek1:
The book was FASCINATING. I also watched the documentary on Netflix streaming, which was also good.
 

I watched some of the documentary earlier tonight. Forgot about them being on Sally Jessy Raphael and Geraldo.

The film talks about Burt's time in prison, but the book goes into much more detail.
