She was a diva, a glamour girl and an icon of the “silver screen”. Elizabeth Taylor’s death at 79 this week thrust her back into the spotlight for one last time—and reminded people just how huge a star she was.
An Oscar-winning actress, Elizabeth Taylor really knew no other life than that under the microscope of the “public eye”. From her days as a child actress through her adulthood, “Liz” Taylor was as famous for her personal life as she was for the roles she played.
Stretching the limits of Hollywood’s tolerance for multiple marriages, Taylor had no less than 7 husbands—and 8 marriages, as Richard Burton walked down the aisle with her twice!
Nothing I could write would do justice to the volumes that have been penned about the woman who was legitimately Hollywood’s biggest star for years (she was the very first actress to command one million dollars for a single motion picture!)
I did come across a cute little video—her appearance as a celebrity guest on the old TV show “What’s My Line?”
Enjoy:

Following a distinguished movie career, Taylor devoted her energies to being a social activist, most notably in the cause of raising awareness and research dollars to fight AIDS.
Heaven is a more beautiful place as of this week.
