Elizabeth Taylor, a Hollywood icon, is often referred to as the Helen of Troy of our time. At the age of sixty, she exudes a sense of strength and resilience, much like her ancestors who traversed America in covered wagons. Her mother, Sara, now ninety-five and residing in Palm Springs, also had a deep connection to the entertainment industry.
Known for her multiple marriages, Elizabeth Taylor has always been a passionate lover who once said that she had more fun fighting with her ex-husband, Mike Todd, than most people have making love. Despite her high-profile relationships, Taylor remains unapologetically herself, embracing her liberated woman persona.
In a recent interview, Taylor expressed surprise that men still feel intimidated by her irresistible charm and earth-mother sexuality. She emphasized her belief in equal rights and the importance of being true to oneself. While she has been married seven times to six husbands, Taylor values her independence and femininity. She enjoys being feminine and sees no need to conform to traditional gender roles.
Taylor’s close friend, Sheran Cazalet Hornby, describes her as a woman who embodies various roles with ease – a man’s woman, a woman’s woman, a child’s woman, and even an animal’s woman. Despite her glamorous Hollywood image, Taylor cherishes family time and simple pleasures like eating bangers and mash.
Growing up in the spotlight, Taylor became famous at a young age, starring in films like “National Velvet” at just twelve years old. By her late teens and early twenties, she was already experiencing wealth and luxury through her marriages to Nicky Hilton and Mike Todd. Her relationship with Richard Burton also brought her immense wealth and extravagant gifts, including a cinema named after her and a yacht.
Throughout her life, Elizabeth Taylor has remained true to herself, defying societal expectations and embracing her unique identity. Her legacy as a Hollywood legend and trailblazing woman continues to inspire generations.
