Elizabeth Taylor Children. Who are they?

A star in both American and British films, Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in London on February 27, 1932. It was as a young actress in the early 1940s that she first entered the spotlight.

Early Life and Career

Relocating to Los Angeles with her family in 1939, Taylor’s acting debut in Universal Pictures’ “There’s One Born Every Minute” (1942) hinted at the prodigious talent that would define her future. However, her contract with the studio was terminated after a year.

The beginning of her teenage success came when she signed with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), which changed her fortunes. Her work helped her transform from a cherished child star into one of the most respected characters in classic Hollywood cinema, and the 1944 picture “National Velvet” strenghtened her fame.

Her ability to enthrall viewers with her acting talent was demonstrated by her standout performances in the highly praised “A Place in the Sun” (1951) and “Father of the Bride” (1950). Her variety was further showcased in the historical adventure epic “Ivanhoe” (1952), which made her one of MGM’s most bankable performers.

Taylor was unhappy with the studio’s management and some of the film assignments even though she was successful. Still, the mid-1950s was a turning point in her career, as she began to take on more demanding and rewarding parts. The 1956 epic drama “Giant” laid the groundwork for a number of highly regarded and financially successful motion pictures.

In 1961, during the filming of “Cleopatra,” Taylor ignited a scandal by engaging in an extramarital affair with co-star Richard Burton. Despite public scrutiny, their relationship flourished, culminating in marriage in 1964. Dubbed “Liz and Dick” by the media, the couple starred in 11 films together, including “The V.I.P.s” (1963), “The Sandpiper” (1965), and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” (1966).

Taylor’s role in “BUtterfield 8” (1960), her last film for MGM, earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress. However, it was her portrayal in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” that garnered the best reviews of her career, resulting in her second Academy Award.

Taylor turned her attention to supporting her sixth husband, US Senator John Warner, when her acting career faded in the late 1960s. She began taking on significant stage roles and appearing in television shows and films in the 1980s. Beyond only being entertaining, Taylor created history by being the second celebrity, after Sophia Loren, to introduce a perfume line.

Taylor co-founded the American Foundation for AIDS Research in 1985 and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in 1991.
