There was nothing like her and always knew, since he left to share screen with Roddy McDowall and Lassie ineffable, to be the teenager who radiated charisma National Velvet, the story of a girl and her pony, her violet eyes, the classic features, the raven hair, captured the world. She was born, in April 1932 - to be a star.
English daughter of an ill-assorted marriage who emigrated to America to seek his fortune, his mother was always a mixture of support and pressure that shot to fame quickly, have developed very fast, with gorgeous figure , was the key that helped them climb in a blink to be the biggest star of his generation and the last great film legend (and Angelina Jolie arrives, ladies and gentlemen) in its own right.
The losing streak that had in their marriages does not mean that Elizabeth Taylor Hilton Wilding Todd Rosamund Fisher Burton Burton Warner Fortensky had not been happy or do not know the love, the thing is I always wanted more, know it was not like the other, the same at 18 years with the poor little rich boy Nicky Hilton (who beat her during their honeymoon in Rome, a situation which was saved by the timely intervention of Deborah Kerr, while filming Quo Vadis? , Which literally took it out of the honeymoon suite with a black eye) than 60 with the worker Larry Fortensky (they broke the love, as I said the D'Alessio, both used). And all the admiration of their fans (well, plural) who loved her dearly and forgave him everything from bad movies (like the grotesque Cleopatra, who, where you look, is a beautiful disaster) to stealing utterly, almost in his face, the husband of her best friend from childhood (the sweet and sensitive Debbie Reynolds, who eventually agreed that Liz did you a favor by removing this louse called off and Eddie Fisher were reconciled and Mature), while drunkenness aside, tantrums elephantine and extra kilos.
The Taylor was obviously a force of nature. Violet eyes fixed where nothing was ever the same, and was much more courageous than people think: you have to see their work in two films that followed was based on works of his intimate gossip Tennessee Williams: Cat on Hot Tin Roof (in which her beauty and temper himself overshadowed by Paul Newman) and suddenly last summer, where she and the thing known as Katharine Hepburn formidable got to you for you on camera and behind They rang Joe Mankiewicz Scrub for torturing the very Monty Clift. When Dick filming Night of the Iguana in Puerto Vallarta in 1963, she came to visit him and clung together sensational pedals with John Huston, Ava Gardner and Gabriel Figueroa (the Kerr just covered his eyes with his hands) and armed the pachanga. By day you could see her playing with the kid cuicas the town and eating tlacoyos. He liked the place, bought a house there in Mismaloya. Must recognize that any actress of her status would dare to blow twenty kilos of fat and stay drunk during a shoot (if that is not the way I do not know what it is), as did the enormÃsima to play Martha in Who Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), where she and Burton, the greatest love of his life after precious stones and their children, "she turned back to her chic image of" Liz and Dick "(it is impossible to think of the zeitgeist of the sixties without this element) to be displayed as two children injured, stark and brutal, that only she won an Oscar for this work is a great injustice.
Addicted to chocolates and many other things, among them the attention and love from his audience, the Taylor leaves an indelible mark. Not only was the goddess we all know, also was from the 80, a tireless crusader in the fight against HIV / AIDS. After losing many dear friends, as Rock Hudson, and his daughter, Aileen Ghetty, the Liz worked tirelessly to raise funds for research, something that no one will thank you enough. There is no star like her is the last of its kind. So we gave his life on film: a faithful witness of his existence.
