In March 2010, she became critically ill again.
Doctors sentenced her heart to death.
She listened and smiled indifferently.
She was in a wheelchair, her head no longer moving, only her shoulders reminding her that she was still alive.
Relatives and friends are urging her to be hospitalized and actively treated.
She was tired.
He smiled and said, "I've lived enough." ”
This year, she was 78 years old.
It's time to liquidate your life.
She said:
"I've loved 7 men in my life and been married 8 times. God gave me beauty, fame, success and wealth, and some jewelry, so didn't give me happiness. ”
A year later, with such regrets, she bid farewell to the prosperous human world and all kinds of fetters in the world.
The whole world mourned her in silence.
She is the "world's number one beauty";
"Hollywood's Evergreen";
The eternal, most beautiful Cleopatra —
Elizabeth taylor.
At the age of 7, Taylor moved to Los Angeles with his parents and attended professional acting school.
All this is naturally premeditated.
Her mother asked Taylor to replace her and realize her dream of being an actress.
Taylor spent his early days at various audition sites.
She was asked by her mother to hold a Christian prayer book every time she went to audition, showing that she was noble and cultivated.
Also wear stockings to make yourself look like your legs are long and straight.
The family could not afford stockings, so my mother used sunscreen and an eyebrow pencil to draw a pair of stockings.
With such laborious packaging, Taylor's star path is still not so smooth.
Compared to the child stars of the same period, she is not so lucky.
She is not as naïve and childish as Xiulan Temple, Judy Garland, naïve and agile.
Her eyes are long and narrow, her eyebrows are thick, her lips are plump, and she is accompanied by a beautiful mole.
The point is, her pair of violet pupils are too tempting to be confused.
All this, placed on a child, is not appropriate.
One of MGM's producers once sneered: "Taylor has old-fashioned eyes." ”
Universal also fired Taylor because she was too old.
It wasn't her best time yet.
But Heaven cannot stop a child with a clear goal and spares no effort.
At the age of 9, she filmed "One Child Born Every Minute."
At the age of 11, he starred in "Lacey the GreyHound".
At the age of 12, "Jade Goddess Foal" finally made her famous in the United States.
Taylor was precocious. It's not just precocious in looks.
Her mother wanted her to learn makeup and always loved to dress her up to maturity.
At the age of 14, at a party, Taylor appeared in a white swimsuit.
Obviously, she is a cardamom girl, but she poses in a variety of sexy poses.
Excitedly, my mother called a reporter and took thousands of photos of Taylor. Columnists who know each other are also invited to write stories to promote Taylor's sexy and natural beauty.
Taylor was like a grass growing in a crack in the ground, and just after protruding a small head, he was eagerly lifted up by brute force.
She once said: "After the age of 9, I have no childhood, only work." ”
Her mother controlled her, for her own dream of stardom.
The brokerage company appeased her, in order to earn her business value.
They gave Taylor sports cars, paid more, and organized lavish birthday parties.
But none of this helps. Taylor was reluctant to learn to drive and had no concept of money.
Later, they became acutely aware of Taylor's real needs.
Love.
They began to introduce Taylor to their male companions.
The first boy to arrive was footballer Green.
At their parents' arrangement, they met for the first time at West Point.
He is a famous football captain in the school, walking in the school, everyone knows.
At one point, Green took Taylor to a game.
That day, Taylor sat in the audience, and Green was unusually excited, breaking the record with his 100-yard dribble offense.
Taylor didn't understand the ball, but seeing the whole audience boiling, some hazy symbols broke through her body.
She didn't understand it, and identified these symbols as love.
The 16-year-old Taylor's idea is simple, pure love, to be paired with pure marriage.
She said to Green, "When I get to 18, we'll get married." ”
Later, Green went to the battlefield and folded the roses and sent them back. Tiger kept the rose, but couldn't wait for the promise to be fulfilled.
Every minute and every second of hers is expensive and eager to monetize.
How could two years of good youth be wasted on a small soldier.
At this time, the mother already had a better candidate—
Nick, heir to the Hilton Hotel.
At this point, Taylor still firmly believes that everything her mother does is for her own good.
She broke up with Green in a daze and began her relationship with Nick in a daze.
The first time they met, on the day of "Lang's Heart Like Iron", Nick tried every means to invite Taylor to dinner.
He seems to be a perfect candidate.
Have just the right amount of humor and show off your financial resources at the right time.
Everything was so perfect, so perfect that Taylor was a little nervous.
But Taylor's parents were satisfied.
At a family dinner, his parents asked him if he smoked or drank. He replied very cleverly, "Everything will be a little." ”
He's smart, and smart enough not to be revealed.
Seeing that when Taylor ate beef pies, he would pick out the pie and eat only beef, and he deliberately did it.
Taylor was pleasantly surprised to think that they had a common hobby, and his heart was open.
At the age of 18, in order to be able to graduate from high school early and get married, Taylor also applied to the school to issue a graduation certificate early.
They couldn't wait to have a grand and lavish wedding.
Nick kissed Taylor and said, "You marry a Catholic like me, which means you will be together forever." ”
But this is not the case.
He was a Catholic, just talking.
He rarely went to church, and stuffed Catholic prayer books, along with pornographic magazines and pistols, on his nightstand.
Taylor soon discovered that what he called "everything will be a little bit" was far more than a little.
Gambling, alcoholism, drug addiction, infidelity, he didn't fall behind.
When he was drunk, he started beating Tyler.
Taylor was blue and purple, but he didn't dare to tell his mother. She knew that for the sake of glory and wealth, her mother would definitely persuade her to endure.
At one point, Nick was drunk again and kicked her in the stomach.
Tyler didn't know she was pregnant at the time, and their baby was miscarried.
After 4 months, Taylor could not bear the torture and lost 12 pounds.
On his way to France on a cruise ship for a vacation, Nick left Taylor alone and went to California alone.
Taylor cried bitterly and called the agency to take her home.
After another 3 months, one day in the middle of the night, Taylor suddenly escaped from the house.
What happened that night, she never said. She told the media only: "I can't let Nick take my life." ”
The situation was so serious that the company also had to issue a statement: "At all costs, we will do our best to protect Taylor." ”
The marriage lasted only 9 months.
Later, she recalled, commenting on the marriage this way: "It was because I was so eager for marriage that I ignored some of the possibilities. ”
Taylor is a girl who doesn't lack courage and quickly begins her next relationship.
Her goals began to be clear:
One is not to allow her mother to influence her marriage.
The second is that you can't find a hypocritical flower like Nick.
Later, the two husbands she sought out did not have the slightest shadow of Nick.
She met her second husband, Michael Wildin, when she was sent to the UK to shoot a film.
Wildin was an English gentleman, a full 20 years older than Taylor, who could give her fatherly affection.
As an actor, his status in the show business circle is not as good as Taylor's, and his income is not as good as Taylor's.
And he doesn't have any bad habits.
All of this perfectly avoids the losses that Taylor once suffered.
The only problem was that Wildin was too unenterprising.
She tried her best to get MGM to promise to sign him and introduce him to a lot of film and television resources.
But Wilting himself was not angry.
He has mild epilepsy, is not confident enough, and is afraid to face outside criticism.
He hadn't filmed for more than ten years, and the more he didn't shoot, the more timid he became.
At the same time, Taylor's career development is in full swing.
The gap between the two gradually widened, making Taylor feel bitter.
Her distress was soon discovered.
It was at a party where a man invited Taylor and Wildin together to give advice on his new movie.
He is the director of Around the World in Eighty Days, Mike Todd.
In the second half of the party, someone offered to gamble.
Todd and Wilding went head-to-head, and Wildin lost badly.
At the last moment, Todd pretended to fall and overturned the game.
Everything is abandoned.
In the midst of the crowd's uproar, his eyes kept on Taylor.
The meaning is very clear, it is to exempt them from the seemingly inseparable couple.
At the same time, he was asking Taylor, "Can I make you happy again?" ”
Taylor is a smart woman who is immediately attracted to him.
Todd was talented and ambitious.
He wanted to try something that no one had ever done, to introduce new cinema technologies and complete his "Around the World in Eighty Days."
His pursuit of his career is the quality that impresses Taylor the most.
Taylor then said to Wildin, "We've all worked hard, and we all know that we don't have the same passion between us anymore." ”
Wildin also sensed that Todd was a better fit for her.
In January 1957, they ended their five-year marriage.
Just a month later, Taylor and Todd were married.
This is her third marriage.
Todd once said, "I don't want to look for an actress to be a wife." ”
But when he met Taylor, his principles changed.
They are the most compatible partners.
Encourage each other in careers and complement each other in personality.
Taylor had decided to die: "I'm going to marry Todd." Nothing is more important to me than a real home. ”
Todd strongly objected, persuading her to take over the filming of "Cat on the Roof of hot tin".
As it turned out, his vision was really good. For this reason, Taylor was nominated for the 31st Academy Award for Best Actress.
Todd's own films were also a huge success, not only grossing at the box office, but also winning multiple Oscar awards.
After each premiere, he buys jewelry for Taylor. He wanted her to share his joy.
Although he also loves to gamble, he has not had a grudge with Taylor because of this.
He knew that Taylor just needed someone to love her.
Every little fight they had ended with kissing and making love.
So the noisier it is, the better the feelings.
Even once, when Todd was still downstairs to be interviewed by reporters, Taylor suddenly shouted upstairs: "Hurry up the interview, I'm going to have sex with you now." ”
This time, Taylor really found love.
Unfortunately, this sweetness lasted only 414 days.
Todd bid her farewell in an air crash without warning.
On March 21, 1958, he took a private jet to receive the award.
Taylor stayed at home to rest because of pneumonia.
When she woke up, she received a call from the police.
Todd's plane melted into lightning and torrential rain over Mexico.
They said that the fire had burned everything to the ground, and they had tested their teeth to confirm Todd's identity.
Taylor's whole body trembled and he cried bitterly.
Todd's death was a fatal blow to Taylor.
She went to Todd's funeral and was surrounded by fans and reporters.
People were like locusts, frantically coming at her, yelling at her and asking her to show her beauty in front of the camera.
At this moment, Taylor felt an overwhelming sense of loneliness.
It turned out that people didn't care about her grief, people only cared about the news itself.
So she closed herself off, ignoring the sounds of the outside world.
She suffered from depression.
When filming "Cat on the Hot Tin Roof", she often sat alone in a daze, sitting on the set silently crying.
Friends were worried about her and didn't dare to leave her alone.
Especially Eddie.
He is Todd's best friend and adopted son.
He called Tyler every day and went to spend time with her every three or five minutes.
Then one day, a friend went to Taylor's house and found Taylor bouncing around in bed, like a child.
Eddie lying asleep next to him.
No one knows how Taylor did it, crying to death the day before, and perking up the next.
Taylor himself said, "I have to live, I need to be happy, I can't always live alone." ”
Her resilience was amazing, indeed thanks to Eddie.
Later, of course, she turned Eddie into her husband.
Marriage became her relief food.
As Todd says, she needs a lot of love to fill her gaps.
However, her marriage to Eddie has caused them both to suffer heavy losses.
Eddie was married at the time.
Naturally, Taylor's behavior was criticized by the world.
During Eddie's release of the album, Taylor was ordered not to appear in front of the media to avoid adverse effects.
And Eddie, because of this scandal, the job offer has dropped sharply.
For a while, the two of them were blacklisted by Hollywood. My former friends were behind their backs, scolding them for not being good things.
Taylor felt that she was right, and she shouted to the media: "So what should I do, sleep alone?" ”
She believes that she treats marriage more faithfully than the vast majority of people in Hollywood.
She said: "I only sleep with men who marry me, how many women dare to say that? ”
She ignored it and sought what she thought was true love in a direction she thought was right.
However, the light that appeared in the darkness was destined to disappear after she walked out of the darkness.
That's how her love for Eddie faded away.
In March 1964, less than 10 days after divorcing Eddie, Taylor got married again.
This time, her husband is Richard Burton, who played her in "Cleopatra".
Taylor once said that in this life, she only loved two people the most, one was Todd and the other was Burton.
When they have a good feeling for each other, they all have their own families.
I thought it was another scandal.
But this time is different.
In 1964, Burton's performance in The Prince's Revenge was a great success.
For a moment, the praise overshadowed the insults.
So, they realized a truth: success is the best deodorant.
At this time, Taylor became the most expensive actress for the filming of "Cleopatra" for 1 million yuan.
Burton was inspired and vowed to be the most expensive actor in the film so that he could be worthy of Taylor.
Between them, a kind of implicit and benign comparison has been formed.
Every time Burton made money, he used most of his savings to buy jewelry and give it to Taylor.
Taylor also changed his nationality to British for burton.
Their marriage lasted a decade, during which time they collaborated on 12 films and dominated the screen.
They're not tired, but the audience is tired.
By the time Taylor was 40 years old, the audience had stopped buying it. Coupled with the pinch of the new generation of actors, they went to the trough of their careers.
Burton was devastated and became obsessed with alcohol.
At first, Taylor would stare at him and quit drinking.
Burton tip the waiter and had the lemonade exchanged for wine.
When Taylor found out, he sternly reprimanded: "I told you, don't let him drink, it will kill him." ”
For Burton, these words were a kind of dawn, a kind of dawn that forced him to cheer up.
But later, Taylor himself was tired of shouting.
She picked up the wine glass, deeper than Burton was.
The times want to eliminate them, and they are all unwilling.
No one can redeem anyone.
In June 1974, they divorced for the first time.
After 14 months, they tried to remarry.
But two people with equally strong personalities, tied together, are endless failures and tortures.
Burton said: "Our love is so strong that it burns each other to the skin. ”
"I lit the fire and put it out again. For this, I was punished forever by God. ”
Taylor knew that they were still in love, but they couldn't have each other anymore.
What exactly is marriage for Taylor?
She said: "Marriage is a good school. ”
However, after so many times, she still did not successfully graduate.
After Burton, she had two more painless marriages.
One was Senator John Warner and the other was truck driver Larry Fortensky.
Although none of them could give her an unforgettable experience.
She was still trapped in the mire of marriage and could not extricate herself.
From the age of 18 to 60, she loved 7 men and was married 8 times.
She said her life was as long as four lives.
From the beginning of ignorance, being swayed by others, to the end of the sword to go sideways, regardless of.
As she herself said, "I have the body of a woman and the soul of a child." ”
Grow up prematurely, gain fame and fortune prematurely, but have no time to grow.
No one taught her to love peacefully.
No one taught her how to deal with a relationship crisis.
She stumbled in her marriage, and in her own way, vigorously loved others, did not get the point, and became a fatalistic mark.
The British "Daily Telegraph" once commented on Taylor: "Except for the Queen of England, there is almost no woman who can have a legendary life like Taylor." ”
In fact, this legendary woman only wants ordinary happiness.
