"She is an icon, one of the most watched, photographed, and gossiped-about personalities of our time. Now, in this long-anticipated biography, bestselling author C. David Heymann tells Elizabeth Taylor's remarkable story as it has never been told before. Childhood sensation in National Velvet, youthful object of desire who was controlled by her mother and M-G-M, Oscar-winning actress in Butterfield 8 and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, seductress and eight-time wife, champion of funding for AIDS research, purveyor of perfumes and jewelry, close friend of celebrities and tycoons - Elizabeth Taylor for more than six decades has played most completely, beautifully, cunningly, flamboyantly, and scandalously her greatest role of all: herself. Based on more than a thousand interviews with stars, directors, producers, designers, friends, family, business associates, employees, and other and on extensive research among previously undisclosed court, business, medical, and studio documents, Liz protrays Taylor's entire life and career in fascinating, revealing detail. Heymann shows us her very public escapades and her most private moments - frequently through the words of those who have known her best. Here are the highs and lows of her movie career and the intimate circumstancs of her marriages to Nicky Hilton, Michael Wilding, Mike Todd, Eddie Fisher, Richard Burton, Senator John Warner, and Larry Fortensky. Here, too, is the truth about Taylor's father and her friendships with leading men Montgomery Clift, James Dean, and Rock Hudson, as well as with the eccentric Malcolm Forbes and Michael Jackson. From her illnesses, injuries, weight swings, and battles against drug and alcohol dependencies to her sexual exploits, diamond studded luxury, and tumultuous relationships with husbands and lovers, this is the enormously contradictory and glamorous life of Hollywood's last great star. There will never be another Elizabeth Tayllor. Her lilac eyes, resilience, and legendary fame define the very image of celebrity. Liz is surely the most absorbing and definitive portrait of a mythic woman who has never stopped beguiling the public's imagination." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
