The Early Years

Elizabeth Taylor was born in London, 1932, to a prominent American art dealer and former stage actress. Taylor was born with a thick layer of black hair covering her body, a rare condition known as hypertrichosis. She also had a double row of eyelashes. Taylor’s mother blamed herself for the condition, thinking that she’d failed to ‘imbibe beautiful thoughts of the requisite strength’. The condition wore off, revealing a stunning baby of unnatural beauty. After the onslaught of World War II, the family returned to America and in Los Angeles in 1941. Elizabeth Taylor’s mother, Sara, was the ultimate stage mother. She had been a bit player on the stage during the 1920s, and recognized that her young child had a promising “star quality”. Taylor’s mother hounded the Hollywood studios, securing a contract in 1943 thanks largely in part to the girl’s striking beauty: raven black hair and violet eyes. Taylor literally grew up in front of the camera; never attending a traditional school, she attended the Little Red Schoolhouse on MGM’s lot. “I have the emotions of a child in the body of a woman. I was rushed into womanhood for the movies. It caused me long moments of unhappiness and doubt.” The fact that Taylor never had an “awkward phase”, meant that her blossoming beauty ensured steady work throughout her adolescence, in teenage movies like A Date with Judy as well as more illustrious productions like Little Women.

Created, cultivated and bred by MGM, Taylor was, initially, just another ‘product’ to be exploited by studio suits. “If someone’s dumb enough to offer me a million dollars to make a picture, I’m certainly not dumb enough to turn it down.”

The Middle Years

During the 1950s, Taylor was one of the most popular movie stars in the business, and as she grew, she graduated to more adult roles, earning a total of 5 Oscar nominations and 2 wins (BUtterfield 8 and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) Throughout her life, Taylor was a loyal friend. In fact, she actually saved the life of her co-star and closest friend, Montgomery Clift, rescuing him from choking to death after a car crash in 1957. When her husband Michael Todd was killed in a plane crash, the public mourned with Taylor and its obsession with her personal life began. But grieving brought her a little too close to Todd’s best friend…singer Eddie Fisher. Fisher was married to America’s sweetheart Debbie Reynolds and the love triangle became one of the most publicized ones in Hollywood history. Taylor nearly died from pneumonia a few years after the affair, and her public battle for her life moved the public and they quickly forgave her.

“Pour yourself a drink, put on some lipstick, and pull yourself together.”

Taylor’s life was plagued with life-threatening illnesses, making her a true survivor. Born with scoliosis, Taylor spent her life in and out of hospitals because of severe back pain, not to mention bouts of pneumonia, seizures, a stroke, skin cancer, and a benign brain tumor. During the ’60s, Taylor was a superstar and often appeared alongside her husband Richard Burton, including the most expensive film ever made to that time, Cleopatra: it cost $300 million to make (adjusted for inflation). Taylor still managed to challenge herself with complex roles, often opposite Richard Burton (here at Warner Archive we’ve got two of them, The V.I.P.s and The Sandpiper) but their off-screen relationship was so sensational that it often eclipsed their movies.

The Later Years

During her later years, Taylor became a tireless champion for AIDS research.

In the year 2000, she became Dame Elizabeth Taylor.

Her close friendship with Michael Jackson also ensured she was never far from tabloid headlines, even right up to her passing in 2010 at age 79. “The ups and downs, the problems and stress, along with all the happiness, have given me optimism and hope because I am living proof of survival.”
