A legendary sereen icon, the epitome of beauty Elizabeth Taylor has long been surrounded by the aura of fame and notoriety. Now acclaimed biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli describes how she evolved from a dazzling but manipulated child star to a woman in her own right.
Taraborrelli brings to life the people around her and her stunning rise in 1940s Hollywood. He examines her eight marriages to seven men, including her abusive relationship with Nicky Hilton, her attraction to swashbuckling Mike Todd, and the complex, incendiary Taylor-Burton
love affair that continued for decades and never truly died.
