Richard Burton first came to Puerto Vallarta in 1963 as part of the cast of the movie "Night of the Iguana." He played a boozy defrocked minister trying to hang on to a shred of self-respect. It was here that he and Elizabeth Taylor's love affair first came to light. After the pair married, they bought houses in Gringo Gulch and stayed for several years. Elizabeth Taylor is possibly the most famous of all celebrities to live in Puerto Vallarta. Vallarta was put on the world scene when she accompanied her lover Richard Burton, while still married to Eddie Fisher, to a small fishing village on the coast of Mexico where he was filming "Night of the Iguana." Their subsequent decades long torrid romance still echoes through the narrow alleys of Gringo Gulch where they bought houses across the street from one another and linked them with a pink bridge. Casa Kimberly still exists and is now open to tours.
