Dame Elizabeth Taylor (1932-2011) was an actress, one of most beautiful women in the world according to many, and a living legend, one of the last remaining stars of the so-called [[Golden Age of Hollywood]].
 
She started as a child actress in the 1940s, and become famous with movies like ''[[Lassie Come Home]]'', ''[[National Velvet]]'' and ''[[Little Women]]''. She made a successful transition to adult roles in ''[[Father of the Bride]]'' and ''[[A Place In The Sun]]''. After a series of somewhat forgettable films, she appeared in ''[[Giant]]'' along with [[James Dean]], then was nominated for an [[Academy Award]] for Best Actress four consecutive times for ''[[Raintree County]]'', ''[[Cat on a Hot Tin Roof]]'', ''[[Suddenly, Last Summer]]'' and ''[[B UtterfieldBUtterfield 8]]''. She won for the last one, which was widely seen as a [[Consolation Award]].
 
In 1963, she appeared in the big-budget historical epic ''[[Cleopatra]]'', for which she recieved a record-breaking $1 million. During production, she started a relationship with her co-star [[Richard Burton]], which caused a huge scandal, since they were both married at the time. ''Cleopatra'' went way over budget, and became the most expensive film ever; despite being the highest-grossing movie in 1963, it still was considered a failure.
