Elizabeth Taylor: Stars
built 630 days ago
Elizabeth Taylor is one of film's most famous women, having starred in over fifty films and having won two Academy Awards. She ... attracted attention because of her eight marriages and her devotion to raising money for research to fight acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS; a virus that destroys the body's ability to fight off infection).

For the next few years, Elizabeth was to play privileged young beauties in many of her films, which varied from humble "programmers" to high budget melodramas in foreign settings. Most of these movies were scorned by the critics but not by the general public, and Elizabeth was consistently a success at the box office. In all her movies of this period she was beautiful in a very glossy way and, in terms of glamour, completely outshone co-stars like Joan Fontaine and Donna Reed.

It is probable that Elizabeth was aware of this. Because she was one of the few stars who performed well at the box office throughout the 1950s, her negotiating power grew year by year. However, instead of demanding the kind of parts that Grace Kelly, Doris Day or Audrey Hepburn sometimes played, Elizabeth chose repeatedly to play noisy, tempestuous, sexually-charged women experiencing an emotional or psychological crisis.
