Elizabeth Taylor's own story was more dramatic than any part she
ever played on the screen. C. David Heymann brings her
magnificently to life in this acclaimed biography--updated with a
new chapter covering her final years.
She was an icon, one of the most watched, photographed, and
gossiped-about personalities of our time. Child star, daughter of a
controlling stage mother, Oscar-winning actress, seductress and
eight-time wife, mother of four children and grandmother of ten,
champion of funding for AIDS research, purveyor of perfumes and
jewelry, close friend of celebrities and tycoons--Elizabeth Taylor,
for almost eight decades, played most completely, beautifully,
cunningly, flamboyantly, and scandalously her greatest role of all:
herself.
The basis of an Emmy Award-nominated miniseries, "Liz" portrays
Taylor's life and career in fascinating, revealing detail and
includes an additional new chapter, bringing her beloved fans up to
date on her final years. By way of more than a thousand interviews
with stars, directors, producers, designers, friends, family,
business associates, and employees and through extensive research
among previously disclosed court, business, medical, and studio
documents, bestselling author Heymann reminds readers of her very
public escapades and unveils her most private moments.
Here are the highs and lows of her film career and the intimate
circumstances of her marriages to Nicky Hilton, Michael Wilding,
Mike Todd, Eddie Fisher, Richard Burton, Senator John Warner, and
Larry Fortensky. Here, too, is the truth about Taylor's father and
her friendships with leading men Montgomery Clift, James Dean, and
Rock Hudson, as well as with the eccentric Malcolm Forbes and
Michael Jackson. From her illnesses, injuries, weight issues, and
battles against drug and alcohol, to her sexual exploits,
diamond-studded adventures, and tumultuous love affairs, this is
the enormously contradictory and glamorous life of Hollywood's last
great star.
