She was different. She was a beauty with style. She once said: "I'm afraid of being alone, and besides, I don't like sleeping in an empty bed. This is a completely normal thing.

Play by your own rules and forget what society says
"I don't want to become a housewife, that was never my goal," she emphasized on one occasion. She was not the type of housewife and ordinary woman. While her peers in the 1950s and 1960s were competing to be the more exemplary Stepford wife, she had professional ambitions and a string of husbands and divorces, at a time when divorce was not as acceptable as it is today! Considered a woman who was ahead of her time.
Marry someone who thinks you're a godsend
Her fifth or sixth husband Richard Burton wrote about her in his diary:
"She's shy and witty, she's nobody's toy, she's a brilliant actress and more beautiful than anyone could imagine. She can be arrogant and stubborn, but also gentle and wonderful. He puts up with all my mistakes and drunkenness, it just hurts my guts if we're not together. He loves me."

You'd think that Elizabeth and Debbie would become mortal enemies because of this, but they didn't. The two actresses became friends and remained friends until Liza's death. "Women loved her and men adored her. People think I was mad at her, I never was," Reynolds said after Liza's death.
