Her biography once wrote: "Whether Elizabeth admits it or not, as soon as she encounters marriage, she seems to be caught in a non-stop farce..."
[First]: In May 1950, at the age of 18, Taylor married her first husband, Conrad Nicholson Hilton, Jr., heir to the Hilton Group, who had tendencies to drink, use drugs and domestic violence, and the marriage ended after only eight months.
In February 1952, Taylor married the 20-year-old British film actor and producer Michael Wilding and bore him two sons: michael Wilding Jr. (6 January 1953) and second son Christopher Wilding (28 February 1955). This seemingly happy marriage lasted only 5 years, and with the gradual maturity of Taylor and the success of the deductive career, coupled with the gradual decline of the husband's career, the two ended the marriage relationship in 1957.
The second marriage ended just three days later, and in February 1957 Taylor married the 23-year-old Hollywood producer Michael Todd, the first love of Taylor's life, and the two married a daughter, Elizabeth Francis Todd Frances Todd (August 6, 1957). But the good times did not last long, and in the second year of marriage, Todd was unfortunately hit by an air crash, and Taylor's third marriage lasted only one year, and she became a widow.
[Fourth]: Shortly after the death of her third husband, Michael Todd, Taylor and his former friend pop singer and actor Eddie Fisher came together, when Fisher and actress Debbie Reynolds were still married, and Taylor and Reynolds were also good girlfriends, so the two had an affair that became a scandal at the time.
Mr. taylor, Fisher, and Reynolds
In order to be with Taylor, Fisher abandoned his family and became married to Taylor in May 1959, and Taylor and Reynolds fell out. It really confirms the phrase "fireproof, anti-theft and anti-girlfriend". The controversial marriage lasted only five years, ending in divorce in March 1964.
[Fifth and sixth term]: In 1962, Elizabeth Taylor, who was still married, and the actor Richard Burton had an extramarital affair for starring in "Cleopatra", and the entertainment uproar became the object of people's accusations, and for a time even criticized by the Vatican Church, and they were banned from entering the Vatican. In 1964, just nine days after divorcing her fourth husband, Taylor announced his marriage to another of his lifelong loves, Burton, the same year they had an adopted daughter, Maria Burton (1961).
Since then, they have performed 11 film works such as "Heroes of the Crowd", "Spiritual Desire Spring Supper", "Spring Breeze Infinite Hate" and so on, and at the same time as harvesting marriage, the two have also made a lot of money, private jets, precious works of art, brilliant jewelry, high fashion... The love is sweet and the scenery is infinite.
But the marriage lasted only 10 years, and the two divorced in 1974 due to a momentary anger. He remarried in 1975 due to regret and eventually divorced in July 1976. The marriage of the two also became the most high-profile marriage of the 20th century, becoming a topic of entertainment gossip.
Seventh Term: Just five months after burton divorced, in December 1976, Taylor married John Warner, a Democrat politician. During Nixon's presidency, John William Warner was appointed Secretary General of the U.S. Navy and later took charge of the 200th Anniversary of the American Revolution, and his marriage to Taylor made him famous and became a member of Congress in Virginia, and Taylor moved with her husband to Washington, D.C. The lonely and boring life of politicians' families caused Taylor to start drugging and drinking, and his figure began to look out, and this married life barely lasted for 6 years, and in November 1982, at the age of 50, Taylor ended the marriage again.
[Eighth Term]: After divorcing her seventh husband, Taylor enjoyed a relatively long period of single life. During these nine years of single life, there were several suitors, until October 1991, when 59-year-old Taylor and Larry Fortensky were married at the "Dream Manor" of their best friend Michael Jackson.
Taylor met her eighth and last husband, Larry Fortensky, a construction worker, at the prestigious Betty Ford Drug Rehabilitation Institution, 20 years older than Fortensky.

It is rumored that Taylor did not open his eyes for eight days after he was born, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was the wedding ring on his mother's hand, and it was impossible to judge whether it was true or not, but this seemed to indicate that from birth onwards, the woman would be entangled in marriage and jewelry for the rest of her life. Closely related to her marriage is her lifelong hobby, jewelry, which is as wonderful as her acting career and marriage, and most of her jewelry comes from gifts from lovers.
Although Elizabeth Taylor has been an avid jeweller from an early age, elizabeth Taylor, who was only 13 years old in 1945, bought her mother a sapphire diamond brooch for a Mother's Day gift with her first film payment. It was Taylor's first time buying jewelry, and jewelry has been the love of her life ever since.
