Elizabeth Taylor stands as one of cinema's most photographed and scrutinized figures. Bestselling author C. David Heymann constructs this biography through more than a thousand interviews with stars, directors, producers, and employees who knew Taylor personally. He draws from previously sealed court records, business files, medical documents, and studio archives to build a complete portrait of her life and career. The book chronicles both her public spectacles and her most guarded private moments, often letting those closest to Taylor tell her story in their own words. Heymann traces the peaks and valleys of her film career alongside the personal details of her multiple marriages and relationships with Hollywood's leading men. The biography includes color and black and white photographs throughout, supported by a comprehensive index that maps Taylor's complex life and times.
