I have huge admiration for a woman who knows exactly what she wants and go after it relentlessly. The theme for this issue is the Art of Resilience. Elizabeth Taylor is our Cover Lady because she is the epitome of a Resilient Lady. As I was growing up, I watched and admired Elizabeth Taylor, she was one of the most beautiful ladies that I have ever seen. Even today, in her golden years she is the most famous woman in the world and still as beautiful as ever. Elizabeth Taylor is a beautiful English-born American actress, who is known for her creative acting skills, high profile lifestyle, larger-than-life celebrity persona, and many marriages. Taylor was born in Hampstead, a wealthy district of north-west London, the second child of Francis Lenn Taylor (1897-1968) and Sara Viola Warmbrodt (1895-1994), who were Americans residing in England. She has twice won an Academy Award (Oscar) for Best Actress in the films Butterfield 8 and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? She has also been nominated on numerous other occasions for films including Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Taylor has had a long and distinguished career in the film and television industries. Richard Burton was one of Elizabeth's true loves so much that she married him twice, he cherished her. On screen they were an instant sensation, off screen Burton knew how to make Liz happy he bought her diamonds. One of the famous diamonds is the Asscher cut Krupp diamond a 33.19 carat presented to her by Richard Burton back in 1968, which Elizabeth Taylor wears proudly even to this day; the Taylor-Burton diamond is most incredible of all diamonds. Liz's resilience has kept her in the game for a very long time; she is the symbol of fine taste, glamour, extravagance, and style. More than any other film star, she symbolizes the old-time Hollywood glamour and here we will highlight the dynamics of her long wonderful career. |
