Elizabeth Taylor's eyes are very attractive, with double rows of eyelashes, and violet eyes.
She once said: "My mother said that I didn't open my eyes for eight days after I was born, and the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was an engagement ring. ”

Taylor debuted at the age of 9, and with her natural beauty and talent for acting, she had a smooth ride. It is not because the family is financially strapped to act, nor has he experienced running dragon sets. She was radiant as soon as she debuted, and as she grew older, she became more and more attractive and the audience loved her more and more.
At the age of 18, Taylor met and married Hilton heir Nick Hilton.

Her husband's friend Eddie often came to enlighten her, and the two developed feelings. He was also one of the most popular singers in the United States in the 1960s.
Eddie quickly divorced his wife, Debbie Reynolds, and then married Taylor in 1959, which shows that Taylor's charm is not ordinary.
But this Eddie is also a very amorous man, having married 5 wives in his lifetime, of which the first wife, Debbie Reynolds, is a famous actress, and Taylor is his second wife.
Later, due to a scandal between Taylor and Richard, in 1964, the two chose to divorce.

However, there was a huge gap between the two in terms of wealth, status, vision, and social circle, and finally in 1996, the two chose to divorce peacefully.

She has been married eight times in her life, becoming a legend in the eyes of the world, and each of her weddings has been held very solemnly.
In her later years, she confessed that she was not happy, and Taylor said, "God gave me beauty, fame, success, and wealth, so he didn't give me happiness." ”
If the first marriage is young and simple, do not know how to recognize a person well before marriage, then after the end of the first marriage, it should be carefully examined before considering re-entering the marriage. But Taylor is like a little girl who has played at home, entering the castle of marriage over and over again, escaping from the castle again and again, but despite this, she is still enthusiastic.
Why is that?
We can see the reason behind it from a few words she said herself:
I've always admitted that I'm ruled by my passions.
I've always admitted that I'm controlled by my emotions.
I have a woman's body and a child's emotions.
I have a woman's body and a child's heart.
Taylor himself said, "I have to live, I need to be happy, I can't always live alone." ”
Although Taylor's love life has gone through twists and turns, she has always been very optimistic in her heart.

【Conclusion】
Someone once said: "The way a woman looks in love, she can never lose her independence and freedom." Not controlled by love or the other person, but as the master of your own heart. It's okay to love, it's okay not to love, and it's okay to be yourself happily anyway. ”
This sentence, applied to Taylor, is very suitable. Although her feelings have gone through several twists and turns, she is always independent and free, and she will not change herself because of the other party. She respects her heart. Of course, she also lived out her own legend.
Every time the feeling of love came, she enjoyed it immensely, loved it vigorously, and when the feeling was no longer felt, she withdrew.
