Dame Elizabeth Taylor was present at the shooting of the final Tower of London scene, out of fear that her husband, Richard Burton, and his co-star, Geneviève Bujold, were having an affair. Before she began filming the scene, a furious Bujold told director Charles Jarrott, "I'm going to give that bitch an acting lesson she'll never forget!"
Anne was Queen of England for 1085 days, from her marriage to her death - two years, eleven months, and twenty days.
Dame Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton's then-wife, wanted to play Anne Boleyn. At 37, she was rejected as too old.
Richard Burton hated both the movie and his performance, and was amazed when he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
Dame Elizabeth Taylor was paid $46 to appear in a cameo role as a masked courtesan. She really appeared in the movie to keep an eye on her husband, Richard Burton, and Geneviève Bujold, as she suspected they were having an affair.
