Summary

In the first ever authorized biography of the Hollywood icon, Kate Andersen Brower uses Elizabeth Taylor’s unpublished letters, diary entries, and off-the-record interview transcripts as well as interviews with 250 of her closest friends and family to tell the full, unvarnished story of Taylor's remarkable career and explosive private life. Capturing this intelligent, empathetic, tenacious, volatile, and complex woman as never before, the book chronicles everything from Taylor's rise to massive fame at age twelve in National Velvet to becoming the first to negotiate a million-dollar salary for a film to her eight marriages and enduring love affair with Richard Burton to her her lifelong battle with addiction and courageous efforts as an AIDS activist
