Elizabeth Taylor by Elizabeth). WALKER, Alexander (TAYLOR pdf epub fb2

A serious yet readable attempt to understand Elizabeth Taylor, a woman who became a star & studio victim. The greatest role she has ever played has been that of her own life. It has all the fascination & intrigue of a mini-series: wealth, beauty, sins & extravagances, near-death collapses &, above all, a passion to love & be loved. Elizabeth s personality combines a powerful resilience with a distinctly destructive streak. In this exploration of her privileged yet tragically unsettled life, Walker has combed unexamined sources & drawn on his conversations with Elizabeth herself, making this the most thorough appraisal yet of the life & career of one of Hollywood s most compelling stars.
