Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor was a British-American actress whose career spanned from child stardom to Hollywood legend.
Known for films like *Cleopatra* and *Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?*, she became equally famous for her violet eyes, eight marriages (twice to Richard Burton), and later AIDS activism.
Her name evokes Old Hollywood glamour and tabloid-ready drama: She arrived draped in diamonds like Elizabeth Taylor.
