But according to a sensational new book she had sex with scores of actors, as well as future American presidents JFK and Ronald Reagan. She also turned a blind eye to the bisexual antics of her first five husbands, including Welsh actor Richard Burton, according to the shocking new biography. It claims the British-born actress, who died last year aged 79, was just 12 when she had her first sexual encounter. It was with future movie director John Derek, who was six years older than her. Burton and Taylor were popular, even bigger than Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie of today, and their affair that started on the set of Cleopatra caused a global scandal. Darwin Porter, a veteran Hollywood journalist and co-author of the biography, has written numerous books about icons including Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe and Katharine Hepburn. The book, a collaboration between Porter and Danforth Prince, claims that Taylor once walked in on Burton and British actor Peter Lawford in the midst of a sex act.

I co-wrote the book with Richard A. William J. This story is totally TRUE.

The actress would have been 84 today. According to a tell-all biography by Danforth Prince and Darwin Potter, Ronald Reagan then 36 years old allegedly invited a teenage Taylor to his home and seduced her. We sat on his sofa and I could tell he wanted to get it on but he seemed reluctant to make the first move.
