- Elizabeth Taylor -

Elizabeth Taylor was born in England in 1932. She was a

very beautiful child, with black hair and violet-blue eyes.
Introduction
In 1939, she and her family moved to America, where
and early
film makers soon noticed her beauty. She became a child
star at the age of nine, and appeared in the films Lassie
and National Velvet.

Elizabeth Taylor is one of the few child stars who have

continued to be successful as adults. She has made many
films in her adult career, including Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Adult life
in 1958 and Cleopatra in 1962.

Her private life has not been as successful as her career

in films. She has been married eight times. Her first
marriage, which was when she was eighteen, ended after
one year; her third husband, Mike Todd, was killed in an Private
air crash; her fifth and sixth marriages were to the life
same man, Richard Burton, probably the man who she
loved the most.

She has often been ill with back problems and has had
many operations. In 1981, after her second divorce from
Burton, she became very depressed and turned to food, Health
alcohol, and drugs for comfort. For the first time in her problems
life her beauty left her and she put on a lot of weight.
However, in 1983, she went to stay at the Betty Ford
Clinic, where she worked hard to give up her additions.

Today she is a grandmother and she her made film-star

looks again. Life
