Elizabeth Book

DESCRIPTION: Elizabeth Taylor is known internationally as one of the most beautiful and talented women to ever grace the silver screen, starring in over 60 films and winning two Oscars. She is just as well-known for her tempestuous personal life, marrying eight times and triumphing over innumerable health problems. She has been written about many times before...but never like this. This moving book traces, for the first time, Elizabeth's journey through the dark and often lonely world of fame unparalleled in the 1960s and 1970s, during which alcohol and drugs played a major role in her life. It would be with her fifth (and sixth!) husband, actor Richard Burton, that she would learn the life-changing lessons about love and loyalty that finally rescued her from alcohol 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 businesswoman today. This is not just a star's biography...it's one unforgettable woman's storied journey through life, including many never-before-published photographs.Read More
