Maggiori informazioni sul libro
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Residence and First Women comes the first authorized biography of Elizabeth Taylor, the most famous movie star of the twentieth century. No celebrity matched her glamour, fame, or resilience. A product of the old Hollywood studio system, Taylor captivated audiences with her beauty and magnetic screen presence in nearly sixty films. However, her private life was even more dramatic; she was married eight times to seven men and faced numerous personal challenges, including two divorces and a widowhood by age twenty-six. Beyond her Hollywood success, Taylor became a pioneering activist in the fight against HIV/AIDS, co-founding amfAR and raising over $100 million for research and patient care. As a savvy businesswoman, she was also the first celebrity perfumer, insisting on fair compensation for her work. In this groundbreaking biography, Kate Andersen Brower presents an intimate look at Taylor's life through unpublished letters, diary entries, and interviews with 250 friends and family members. This portrait reveals the intelligent, empathetic, and complex woman behind the headlines, from her early fame in National Velvet to her historic million-dollar film salary, her tumultuous marriages, and her courageous activism. A photo insert accompanies this compelling narrative.
