Known internationally for her mesmerizing beauty, violet eyes, eight marriages, and fabulous lifestyle, Dame Elizabeth Taylor is considered the last of the classic Hollywood icons. Her six-decade career earned her two academy awards, millions of fans, and the Presidential Citizens Medal for her advocacy and activism in HIV/AIDS awareness. Her world-famous marriage to actor Richard Burton (whom she married twice) has been called the marriage of the century for its nonstop publicity, indulgence, and furious love.
