In the HBO documentary 'Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes,' the late actress reveals the harsh criticism she faced from her father, Francis Taylor, for her affair with Richard Burton, whom she met on the set of 'Cleopatra.' Her father branded her a 'whore' after she left her fourth husband, Eddie Fisher, for Burton, who was also married at the time.
