Elizabeth Taylor

Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was a British-American actress. She began her career as a child actress in the early 1940s and was one of the most popular stars of classical Hollywood cinema in the 1950s. She then became the world's highest-paid movie star in the 1960s, remaining a well-known public figure for the rest of her life. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked her seventh on its greatest female screen legends list.

Born in London to socially prominent American parents, Taylor moved with her family to Los Angeles in 1939 at the age of seven. She made her acting debut with a minor role in the Universal Pictures film ''There's One Born Every Minute'' (1942), but the studio ended her contract after a year. She was then signed by MGM and became a popular teen star after appearing in ''National Velvet'' (1944). She transitioned to mature roles in the 1950s, when she starred in the comedy ''Father of the Bride'' (1950) and received critical acclaim for her performance in the drama ''A Place in the Sun'' (1951). She starred in the historical adventure epic ''Ivanhoe'' (1952) with Robert Taylor and Joan Fontaine. Despite being one of MGM's most bankable stars, Taylor wished to end her career in the early 1950s. She resented the studio's control and disliked many of the films to which she was assigned.

She began receiving more enjoyable roles in the mid-1950s, beginning with the epic drama ''Giant'' (1956), and starred in several critically and commercially successful films in the following years. These included two film adaptations of plays by Tennessee Williams: ''Cat on a Hot Tin Roof'' (1958), and ''Suddenly, Last Summer'' (1959); Taylor won a Golden Globe for Best Actress for the latter. Although she disliked her role as a call girl in ''BUtterfield 8'' (1960), her last film for MGM, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for the performance.

Her best known role was in ''Cleopatra'' (1961), which received multiple Oscar nominations and a lavish prodcution budget and schedule. Taylor's acting career began to decline in the late 1960s, although she continued starring in films until the mid-1970s. Taylor married her Cleopatra co-star Richard Burton. There was public scandal, given his marriage at the time of filming. Dubbed "Liz and Dick" by the media, they starred in 11 films together, including ''The V.I.P.s'' (1963), ''The Sandpiper'' (1965), ''The Taming of the Shrew'' (1967), and ''Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'' (1966). Taylor received the best reviews of her career for ''Woolf'', winning her second Academy Award and several other awards for her performance. She and Burton divorced in 1974 but reconciled soon after, remarrying in 1975. The second marriage ended in divorce in 1976, after which she focused on supporting the career of her sixth husband, United States Senator John Warner.

In the 1980s, she acted in her first substantial stage roles and in several television films and series. She became the second celebrity to launch a perfume brand after Sophia Loren. Taylor was one of the first celebrities to take part in HIV/AIDS activism. She co-founded the American Foundation for AIDS Research in 1985 and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in 1991. From the early 1990s until her death, she dedicated her time to philanthropy, for which she received several accolades, including the Presidential Citizens Medal in 2001. Provided by Wikipedia
