- Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932 and is considered as the last great Hollywood Diva of the golden years.
Her debut film, was in 1942 with the film "There's One Born Every Minute" at Universal, which did not achieve a great success. For unknown reasons, Taylor was fired and that was the only film for Universal. Probably the cause was due to her appearance. Elizabeth, despite her young age (she was nine years) she showed a greater maturity. She was already a woman. MGM had already shown some interest towards this beautiful baby girl and offered a long-term contract with the studio and the starring role opposite to a famous dog Lassie in the movie "Lassie Come Home".
The film was a success and Taylor with his partner Roddy McDowall got the attention of the public.
1944 was the year in which Elizabeth Taylor became a star at the age of 12 years in the film "National Velvet".
In this film, she was able to show her qualities as a rider and this contributed to the success of her character. A little girl who trains with tenacity to win the Grand National.
After this film there was a sequel to the film Lassie with "Courage of Lassie" in 1946 and other hits like "Life with Father", "Cynthia", "A Date with Judy", "Julia Misbehaves".
Taylor received a reputation as a consistently successful adolescent actress, with a nickname of "One-Shot Liz" (referring to her ability to shoot a scene in one take) and a promising career. Taylor's portrayal of Amy in the American classic "Little Women" 1949 was her last adolescent role.
Her first box office success in an adult role came as Kay Banks in the comedy "Father of the Bride" 1950, alongside Spencer Tracy and Joan Bennett.
The film spawned a sequel, "Father's Little Dividend" 1951.
Between 1949 and 1950, she began filming George Stevens's "A Place in the Sun" with Montgomery Clift. Elizabeth Taylor had already had the opportunity to meet Clift during the premiere of the film "The Heiress". From then on, Elizabeth and Montgomery were bound by a strong friendship and affection which lasted until the death of the actor.
Critics acclaimed the film as a classic, a reputation it sustained throughout the next 50 years of cinema history.
The New York Times' A.H. Weiler wrote, "Elizabeth's delineation of the rich and beauteous Angela is the top effort of her career", and the Boxoffice reviewer unequivocally stated "Miss Taylor deserves an Academy Award".
After "Giant" always directed by George Stevens with Rock Hudson and James Dean, Taylor was nominated for four consecutive years as Best actress for "Raintree County" with Clift, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" with Newman, Suddenly, Last Summer with Clift and "Butterfield8" in 1960, with whom she won her first Oscar.
In 1960, Taylor became the highest paid actress up to that time when she signed a $1 million dollar contract to play the title role in 20th Century Fox's lavish production of "Cleopatra", which was released in 1963.
Her second Academy Award, as Best Actress in a Leading Role, was for her performance in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" 1966, with the husband Richard Burton.
Taylor saw the film as her chance to act, "to really act," and a chance to emulate one of her favorite dramatic actresses, Vivien Leigh, who played roles as a "tragic heroine."
Other roles to remember are "Reflections in a Golden Eye" with Marlon Brando and "The Taming of the Shrew" with Richard Burton.
But Elizabeth Taylor is not only the great diva we all know, is not only the beautiful actress and violet-eyed woman that has fascinated and enchanted audiences around the world.
From the 1980s until her death was significant and determining her support for the fight against AIDS.
For this activity, has been awarded with the Jean Herscholt Humanitarian Academy Award in 1993, for her work fighting AIDS.
She died in Los Angeles in 2011.

She was the epitome of love and her children know it and miss her terribly.
Beautiful, beautiful eyes, face, ....🌺💋💎👑🌍
There will never be another one even remotely like her. And there will never be an actress adequate to play her in a film. She was, by far, the greatest star.
Fantastic tribute. Beautifully edited.
Wonderful tribute! and the music is perfect. Elizabeth the last diva of Hollywood.
Great music . ... terrific Images, and of course at the center of it all Elizabeth Taylor ..... who could ask for more, your tribute definitely with stands the passing of time 😊

What's a beautiful woman.Soooooo beautiful. Great great artist and woman full of love.The world remember Elisabeth and Richard FOREVER. R.I.P. IN HEAVEN TOGHETER.Thank yuo for this beautiful video and wonderful music.
This is what should have been shown at the Oscars, instead of the paltry 6 seconds slipped into the In Memoriam. For over 40 yrs. she WAS the Oscars. I haven't watched since.
A beautiful tribute for a lovely lady. Wonderful!
Just worthy and graceful for a wonderful woman who lived with love and grace.
Thank you for the beautiful video and enjoyed watching Liz Taylor immensely...a true beauty 😍
Between about 18 and 25 she really was surreally beautiful
💖My beloved Dame Elizabeth Taylor 💖 RIP
Thank you for this beautiful video, a tribute to Ms. Elizabeth Taylor who is truly deserve the title "most beautiful woman in the world"
I can't get past the very first picture in this clip. Taylor's incapacitating beauty in that red dress is vast enough to fill the endless void of space.
You've made this video even better with the addition of the photo of Liz & Rock. They were both Giants; wonderful actors and terrific friends. Thanks for uploading it again, Mirko!
The many different looks of Elizabeth Taylor. Wonderful video Mirko, and with such sentimental music by John Barry. Thanks for sharing. :)
Thank you for watching again Jose!
Why ..... do I keep coming back to your video ...guess my recommendations knows me well ...
or maybe, it's just pure escapism ... from our world today!
Carol, congratulations because you are the first person who understood the musical theme of the video. I wrote in the description, the author and what movie is this music, but I did not write the exact title. The video includes two songs from the same soundtrack. Brava and thank you for the appreciation!
Said already ...who can compare today !
Your choice of Images are incredible. ...especially "Rebecca in Ivanhoe" that, was my first image of her ... as moving today as it was then ...thanks for keeping the memories alive ....
Thank you again Carol. You are too kind!
Wonderful tribute, Mirko!!

She was the icon of England
Wonderful Tribute !
Thanks for sharing, Mirko :-)
Irene.
Thank you for your kind words Doug!
Your comment has a strong emphasis today occurring two years after the Taylor's death. I uploaded the video again, because I wanted to add a scene between Elizabeth and Rock Hudson from Giant.
I wanted to upload the video again. In recent months, I realized that there wasn't a scene between Taylor and Rock Hudson, and so I decided to add it. Today is the Elizabeth Taylor's Birthday. Thank you again Genia! Have a great Day!
Thanks again Irene!!
Thank you so much Zara!
lovely tribute, Mirko! I love the timing of the music with Elizabeth's movement, especially at 1:48-3:20. The writing "no sale" was cleverly timed and graceful with her dancing right after. Just a wonderful selection of scenes, music, Elizabeth's beauty and expressions. I love John Barry's music...for one, youtube doesn't kill it :)
Thanks Alan always for your great comments! I wanted to include a scene between Hudson and Taylor from the Giant movie. In fact the Cleopatra was a flop. Will be remembered for the intense relationship between Burton and Taylor and certainly for the unattainable beauty of Elizabeth!

mulher.do.seculo.sem.palavras.linda.

What movie is in 1:38??
Ivanhoe
MADONNA LOOKS LIKE HER
Madonna is disgusting devil worshipper!
Never in a million years.
@@isobelmiddleton6353 madonna is prettier
@@nickyes2292 Elizabeth Taylor is a classic beauty.. madonna is pretty in a more obvious way..
Also madonna doesn't have the class that Elizabeth has
Elizabeth could not hold a candle to Audrey Hepburn. She lacked the personality, and innocence.
heatherglen33 Liz was much more beautiful than Audrey. Don't be bitter because you're old and ugly
Elisabeth Taylor lacking personality??? Are you kidding?if an actress and woman ever had personality, it’s her!
As far as beauty, personality, talent, charm.... you name it, NOBODY can hold a candle to her.
Audrey Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor were just different types. No need to insult ether one.
Look Both Ways Well, Heather started. No need to be a “goody two shoes”, and come off like you’re a saint either.
