Elizabeth Taylor's mother was a some-time lesbian and Richard Burton was bisexual, according to a book about to be published following the Hollywood star's death this week. British publisher Mainstream is due to release a book by Hollywood biographer David Bret in which he apparently will make the claims about Taylor and her sometimes co-star and two times husband, Burton. The book has been ready for publication for some time but was withheld while Taylor was still alive because "current libel laws would have prevented it," according to the publisher. Taylor was buried in a private ceremony. Notoriously late for appointments and engagements during her lifetime, she apparently asked that her funeral start fifteen minutes after the scheduled time, as she wished it to be said of her that she was even late for her own funeral.
