"Helena Bonham Carter has revealed she developed expensive tastes when recording her recent TV film. In her role as Elizabeth Taylor in the BBC&amp;#039;s Burton and Taylor the actress found herself interested in pricey jewels while researching for the part.  As a result, husband Tim Burton ended up spending more on her new fashion desires.  &amp;quot;I had my birthday during [filming] so I cost him a lot of money,&amp;quot; the 47-year-old said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s funny how things educate you. I&amp;#039;m not really that interested in jewels. But I got a few jewels off [my] Elizabeth Taylor phase.&amp;quot;  Elizabeth couldn&amp;#039;t help but stay in character as she filmed with Dominic West, who played Richard Burton.  &amp;quot;You do [take the role home]. It&amp;#039;s fun. I love pretending to be other people. It&amp;#039;s a holiday,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;But it&amp;#039;s not a holiday for everybody else, it&amp;#039;s really annoying.&amp;quot;  Breaking into an American accent, she playfully added, &amp;quot;I did talk like this a lot, with a lot of squeaks.&amp;quot;   The star researched extensively into the legend \u2013 who died in 2001 \u2013 that she could reel off a list of her must-have items.  &amp;quot;She liked her colors - her purples and pinks. She loved her lip-gloss; she loved her Toblerone and her Earl Grey tea bags. She loved eating - mashed potatoes, fried chicken,&amp;quot; she shared. &amp;quot;She loved to drink - they drank a lot. She had an amazing constitution. They would have bloody Marys on the shoot, at the start at 11 o&amp;#039;clock.&amp;quot;  The motion picture made for the small screen is about the period of time when Taylor and Burton were married to each other twice. &amp;quot;We are doing a little section of her life,&amp;quot; Bonham Carter added. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a wonderful love story between them. There were exceptional characters beneath their celebrity.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
