Arguably the most famous superstar of Hollywood’s golden era, Elizabeth Taylor fascinated a world from the time she was 10 years old with her magnetic beauty and vivid violet eyes.
It wasn’t just her screen siren good looks or her impressive acting chops that made her one of the world’s famous faces, it was the many men that she attracted, ensnared and eventually dumped that made for obsessive tabloid fodder.
“I can choose any man I like,” Elizabeth was reported as boasting to a friend, according to biographer William J. Mann. “I don’t see why everyone is making such a fuss.”
Mann shows what the fuss was all about. He starts with the first man in her life, her father Frances, who was “discreetly homosexual, pursuing a clandestine affair with the art collector Kurt Stempler.”
From there, Mann follows Elizabeth’s soaring career — and equally engaging sex life — in chronological order from the 1950s to the 1980s, from the words of her lovers, close friends and Taylor herself.
