About the book: 2014 / Elizabeth Taylor is the true “Queen of Hollywood” during its heyday, three times awarded an Oscar. No less than her acting work, the circumstances of Taylor’s personal life attracted the attention of the public, because the beauty married eight times! Taylor’s fee for the role of Cleopatra in the 1961 film of the same name amounted to an incredible figure for those times - a million dollars! Since then, “Cleopatra eyes” with bright black eyeliner, like Taylor’s, have been “worn” by fashionistas all over the world. And the “Cleopatra of Hollywood” herself married Mark Antony, the actor Richard Burton. Then there were other men, other relationships, and with them alcohol, drugs and illness (it is known that the actress was diagnosed with a brain tumor and skin cancer, but she was able to overcome these trials). The actress’s last real friend was Michael Jackson; Having learned about the tragic death of the singer, Elizabeth Taylor was admitted to the hospital with severe stress. “Over time, you begin to regret all the sins you have committed, and a few more that you have not committed,” once admitted the great Taylor, who was not afraid to reveal to friends and foes all the secrets of her turbulent life.
