Elizabeth Taylor was one of the major film stars of the twentieth
century, embodying all the glamour and allure of Hollywood stardom.
Yet her achievements as an actress have often been overshadowed by
her beauty and tumultuous life off-screen. To redress this
imbalance, Susan Smith offers an illuminating study of Elizabeth
Taylor's work in film, exploring her fascinating trajectory from
child to adult star. Smith reveals the influence that Taylor's
early work exerted over her later career and the ways in which her
on-screen identity is profoundly rooted in her association with
animals and nature. Smith carefully unpicks what made Taylor such a
distinctive and dynamic on-screen performer - from the expressive
use she made of her eyes to the dramatic significance of her voice
- and considers the importance of certain professional
collaborations that Taylor forged during her career, most notably
her acting partnership with Montgomery Clift.
