Biography:"Elizabeth Taylor" was the ultimate movie star: violet-eyed, luminously beautiful, and bigger than life; although never the most gifted actress, she was the most magnetic, commanding the spotlight with unparalleled power. Few figures have been the recipient of such adoration, the target of such ridicule, or the subject of such gossip and innuendo, and where so many before and after her withered and died in the intense glare of their fame, "Taylor" thrived; celebrity was her lifeblood, the public eye her constant companion. She knew no moderation -- it was all or nothing. Whether good (two Oscars, the first-ever one-million-dollar paycheck, and charity work), bad (health and weight problems, drug battles, and other tragedies), or ugly (eight failed marriages, movie disasters, and countless scandals), no triumph or setback was too personal for media consumption.
