An insightful and page-turning biography of a true screen
legend. Elizabeth Taylor is known internationally as one of the most
beautiful and talented women ever to grace the silver screen. She has
won two Academy Awards and has starred in over sixty films. She is just
as well known for her tempestuous personal life, marrying eight times and
suffering through innumerable health problems. A cultural icon, she has
been written about before ...but never like this. This moving book
traces for the first time Elizabeth's journey through the dark and often
lonely world of a fame unparalleled in the 1960s and 1970s, a time
during which alcohol and drugs played a major part in her life. It would
be with her fifth (and sixth) husband Richard Burton (with whom she
made twelve movies, including Cleopatra) that she would learn life
lessons about love and loyalty that would inform the rest of her life
and, finally, be the catalyst for her alcoholic recovery in the 1980s.
This book also details her philanthropic work as an AIDS activist in the
1990s as well as her stunning success as a business woman today (with a
multi-million-dollar fragrance). Based on years of research, this is t
just a star's biography ...it's an unforgettable woman's story.
