      Elizabeth Taylor's former longtime retreat in Puerto Vallarta has been put on the market at $1.5 million.
      The actress, who lives in Bel-Air, sold the property in 1990 to the current owners, Californians Frank and Toy Holstein.
      Taylor and former husband and late actor Richard Burton rented the villa during filming of "The Night of the Iguana."
      They bought the house the same year that the film was released, 1964, sources say.
      At the same time the same time, they bought a vacant lot in front of the villa to protect their view of the bay, river and jungle. Later, when Taylor wanted a pool, Burton had one built on the lot along with a pool house and a bridge to the villa.
      Many of the furnishings that were custom-made for the actors are included in the sale, sources say. The 22,000-square-foot compound also has nine bedrooms, 12 baths and a number of verandas and patios.
      The owners, who plan to retire, have been operating a seasonal rental and tour operation from the property.
