*ELIZABETH* by J. Randy Taraborelli


For more than six decades Elizabeth Taylor has been a part of our lives. Now acclaimed biographer J. Randy Taraborrelli looks past the tabloid version of Elizabeth's life and offers the first-ever fully realized portrait of this American icon. You'll meet her controlling mother who plotted her daughter's success from birth...see the qualities that catapulted Elizabeth to stardom in 1940s Hollywood...understand the psychological and emotional underpinnings behind the eight marriages...and, finally, rejoice in Elizabeth's most bravura performance of all: the new success in family, friendships, and philanthropy she achieved despite substance abuse and chronic illness. It's the story of the woman you thought you knew--and now can finally understand.
****Rate this 4/5. An amazing and thorough account of one of my favorite actresses, Elizabeth Taylor. What a beautiful woman she truly is, both inside and out. Her life, her loves, her career and her kindness towards the unfortunate are legend. I truly admire her and I always will.
