Today is a sad day. We lost a big one today, America. Born in Hampstead to American parents, Taylor was born for greatness. She started acting in movies at the age of nine, and through the course of her massive career, made about 70 movies, married 8 times to 7 different men, won an Oscar, launched 3 huge perfumes, made headlines, broke hearts, inspired millions, and rocked the hell out of life. She was a rock star, delightful chaos, eyes and voice and diamonds.
Elizabeth Taylor was a Queen. On the big screen, in her personal life, in the media, and...ok, maybe in the eighties and nineties...maybe a little bit in the drag sense, too. Cleopatra, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Liz ruled them all. Enough words. Liz was a woman of action, a fighter in every sense. So, without further ado: Ms. Elizabeth Taylor.
A Scandal in The Making...Liz with her 3rd husband, Michael Todd (her only marriage not to end in divorce) and her future 4th husband - Eddie Fisher and his wife/her best friend, Debbie Reynolds
