Love this interview from 1976, I can hear her speak all day. She has such a pristine, elegant, regal, renaissance yet childlike playful tone in her voice. Her transparency and personality is beyond extraordinary. Love that is talking to the director George Stevens son, whom she made two of her iconic legendary films with. Giant and A Place in the Sun. Nothing phony, artificial or fake about Elizabeth Taylor. True beauty and feminine prettiness, inside and out.
This is not 1996 when she was in her 60s. More likely it's in the 70s.

Omg this is the most natural I’ve ever seen her! Great interview! The stories she tells are incredible!
Comes from such a long career!
@@paulfriedman4202She never had cancer, afaik. And I have read every biography including the newest ones which came out in 2022 and last year(Erotic Vangrancy).
She did have a benigh brain tumor which was removed.
Elizabeth Taylor beauty is more from the inside of her then the outside of her beauty. Been a fan for more then 60 years. Miss her more each day. Thank you for this interview .
Why don't you think she was physically beautiful? Just wondering.
Her beauty is internal and external. Her beauty is extreme. Her face is a work of art.
*than the outside
??????????
Truly, .... the more you think you've heard everything there is to know about Taylor. ..she always surprises you .... wonderful stories thanks, for sharing!
I see
So glad this wasn't destroyed; and we have the chance to hear her fabulous, in-depth recollections. Thank you.
I think I've watched every Elizabeth Taylor interview available on RUclips..I just love hearing her perspective about life and her many experiences. What an insightful, dynamic and genuine soul she is.
The best part is that enough time has past so the scandals aren't a focal point about her any longer.
So today we can look back on her life in a more positive way.
Her AIDS activism is a big part of that transition. 🎉
This is super interesting. Love her voice and how she talks. Thanks for sharing 👍💜
Awesome interview - the best of Taylor I have ever seen. There was a lot more to her than I thought. My favorite film Taylor made was Giant. Watching her go from the ingenue in the pink dress to the gray haired matriarch of an amazing family - the scenes with Dean among the best screen moments ever. So authentic so real. He scenes with Rock on the porch when they first met and the scene on the ranch porch where Dean punches Rock - so real. Hudson did such a good job as the rancher - cowboy - powerful mover and shaker in Texas - captured a time in American history worth remembering.
Thank you for sharing this interview. A Place In the Sun remains one of my all time favorite movies. As well as Giant, Elizabeth also worked with George Stevens on The Only Game in Town co starring with Warren Beatty.
A place in the sun was tragic, intense and haunting, a great movie
Thank you for posting this. It’s indeed a rare interview. Very rarely did she speak about her acting and her career. I loved hearing about her experience shooting Giant and A place in the sun.
I'm still in love with Elizabeth Taylor 11 yrs after her death
I love her for her transparency
These older classic stars truly were STARS from their looks to the way they did everything. Even the people Elizabeth Taylor is describing were different - more grit, sometimes dramatically different.
True. Those stars were thin and cared about their weight and looks and appearance and how they were portrayed. Nowadays celebs are chubby and don’t care
This is a pretty good interview with Liz. Better then most.

ELizabeth comes out as a very deep and profound person. It ws not just her beauty that attracted strong men like Burton and Todd, but an intellect that was rarely allowed to be seen by the public.
I concur
She had a primitive intelligence which is the best intelligence to have imo.
@@DeepScreenAnalysis what
@@DeepScreenAnalysis this is the first time I've ever heard the word primitive & intelligence link together to conclude a meaning
( My goodness), what does that mean,& what do you mean 😊, ( Peace).
@DeepScreenAnalysis
You have a primitive analyse, she's obviously deeply smart and articulated.
Such a smart lady.
What a great film interview thanks for sharing
I love her recollections 🙂
Her beauty & her voice…Boss ahead of her time vibes ❤🙌🏾 , Deserve flowers for all eternity
Elizabeth is so Beautiful 💫
Wow... that interview was great... Wish she had done more like this one.
She was such an observant empathetic person with great understanding for one’s complexities and depth.
I think I love this Broad for her
Transparent Americanism and her ladylike Brit demeanor and let's face it her Beauty. TIMELESS Beauty of all time
What a great interview !!!
It would have been wild having Elizabeth, Rock and James filming in my town in Texas. I'm not from Marfa, and I wasn't alive yet, but if I had been I would have constantly been on the lookout for them. 😶
The ruins of the structure that made the house stood for many years. Do you know if they still exist?
@@Hudpix16 Hi. I don't know if they still exist.
I can tell why this wasn’t broadcast. The interviewers are terrible but Liz is great and opens up as usual
She is just so beautifully graceful❤
Those huge and unique eyes... They were talking too!
Beauty is equal to Elizabeth Taylor...
Very, good interview! I've, seen, this before.
Her nose looked different. She seemed like such a nice lady! A good friend to people!
So very real...no phoney stuff here.
I’m sure directors could be mean as hell just on purpose to get their way and keep the power.
Holy mother! I’ve never seen this
I think Elizabeth Taylor was older than 16 when she started filming “a place in the sun” movie .. I’ve read many books on the subject... she was more like 17 or 18... I don’t know how she got the years mixed up...also Elizabeth was really the last real impressive “Movie Star”... there’s not one actor or actress today that’s worth meeting in person or really reading about... they are all boreing and dim compared to Elizabeth’s drama filled career and real life marriages and drama filled life. She was in the era when stars still really lived. She was very lucky she was born in 1932... perfect timing ...otherwise she would have missed it all.
She was 18. Not sure why she would say she was 16.
hearing her talk about the announcement of james deans death... wow. rare valuable footage
Jeffsabu....splendid open hearted interview, by a fine actress.
Beauty/Beautiful is spelled : Elizabeth Taylor !! Inside And Out
key point, her mentioning "i was no longer a teenager and i had no one to protect me. "
Good on you Liz for saying, it came Real easy in the men gathering scene of Giant. The assertive woman character. Teach that Stevens Jr. re women AREN'T all that a packet of biscuits. Ha ha
(guest)
The interviewer should have had his questions ready...he takes so long ! Maybe one of the "Slow Talkers Society"...?😊
Elizabeth gives plenty in her answers....
What year was this ?
😊🇬🇧😊
Love this interview but can I get a text warning for the sound tests?? My eardrums 😭😭
Haha I know, right?! 🙅♂️
A very good interview without stupid questions about privacy and fame. And not in an artificial TV decoration.
She's so majestic
She had a regal manner that must have come from her early years in Britain
She says that she was 16 when she made A Place in the Sun, but the movie came out in August, 1951 when she would have been 19 years old. Does it take 2 years before they publicly release a movie? Also, the movie is based on an old turn of the century crime that involved a Chester Gillette who was executed for the death of Grace Brown. Theodore Dreiser based his novel "An American Tragedy" on this crime that subsequently turned into two films, the later being "A Place in the Sun" which went on to win 6 Academy Awards.
Exactly...I think she was 17
No it takes a few to get everyone together make the movie on location edit it and release it. She was introduced to the actors as they were getting together as in just hired for their parts. She knows what she's talking about concerning her own life.
A Place in the Sun was filmed from Oct 1949 - Mar 1950
@shooter7a Which probably means she was hired for the film at 16, but very close to turning 17 by the time they started rehearsing and filming.
16,17,18 years and so wat's the matter?
She was 16 in a Place in the Sun? Wow.
Elizabeth Taylor was born 2/27/1932. The Release date for A Place in the Sun: 4/5/1951. Thus Ms.Taylor was 19 y/o when film came out. She was Not 16...
I know she was so mature
@@RamblinRose-hh3rz she was 16 when shooting started.
@@RamblinRose-hh3rzNot unusual at all for a studio to hold a film back for years before release. They do it today as well.
💙Thank You for sharing.
That voice !
WONDERFUL WOMAN
Seeing this, I am con-VINCED Dame Elizabeth Taylor’s honesty made her beautiful!!! Yes, she a has great face, but her truthfulness and investment in the person who is speaking to her shines through, and that makes her gorgeous!
Elizabeth was great however the Interviewer not so, he didnt seem very prepared with his questions...
"Not For Broadcast"? What is it for then?
The George Stevens archives most likely.
Liz, 😉🌵Father Yuca is also known as Cassava cousin to Jicama.
Rip...beauty is her name.
I like, the (eye shadow), she has on! It's, pretty!
Elizabeth Taylor didn’t look this young and like this in 1996....she would have been 64 years old...it had to have been filmed many years earlier.
Dear user,
The interview was recorded the 28th October, 1982.
At the begining, before starting the interview, suddenly the first clapperboard appears; then, just pause the image: you can check very closely exactly the recording date, the archive/file title, the sequence number, director's name... It is really interesting.
I guess 1996 was VHS tape editing year as a private archive; No audiences, no commercial purpose either, but particular collection editing.
Hope will be useful to you.
Greetings.
The year, please...
1982
In which year was this interview
8/21/1996
Sometime in the late 70s, maybe 1980. She had put on weight and she was mostly retired at this point, she was married to John Warner and living in Virginia.
1980.
No, look at 1996 photos, here she's much younger.
Great interview, but definitely NOT 1996. Quite a bit earlier.
Splendid interview w/the late great ET... However, @64 was her memory slipping? She was NOT sixteen when filming Place in the Sun - She was eighteen yrs old (born .Feb. 1932) -- Look it up!
P.S. Place in the Sun was filmed in 1950.
@@konstantyk.3320 It was actually filmed in 1949 into 1950 and released in 1951. Elizabeth was born in February of 1932
She said ERA, for Equal Rights Amendment in 1:10;45. Elizabeth may not have known that men have many, many journals that speak about the Buddy System, 2 in 2 out, I've Got Your Back, and 70+% of editors are male. Women don't have this in print. Men have it in print every month as a requirement for hunting, fishing, scuba diving, sky diving, military, firefighting, police. Hospitals, schools and churches don't have anything like the Buddy System in print. This is why 1% of the Bible are the spoken words of women, and 99% are the spoken words of men. It is called suppression. And it is in black and white in print, and it is in the Bible too.
1982
Who was doing the interview?
George Stevens Jr.
Sle lost alot of people so early
*a lot
Plain Jane
Hitchcock raised the ante. The American Hollywood cush boys could no longer get by on their good looks. LOL!!!
I think she missed the entire point: you shouldn't need 6 associate directors to 'remind' you that you have to go back to work; you should be ready and prepared when it's time.
You missed the point -- the AD is supposed to go get you; Stevens did it on purpose.
I don't think she missed any point. And was more knowledgeable than you are about the subject.
But also, why waste time waiting for her to show, if you can just send someone to get her? All just to teach her a lesson? Plus she was a big movie star, they’re used to have assistants all the time.
She blossomed early - one of the most beautiful women in the world - but deteriorated in her mid 30s onwards - too much booze and weight gain - sad really
Im sorry yes you are my mother ok love ya very much
She is relaxed because her son is asking the questions.
Not her son, George Steven’ son.
I lied no your not my mommy ok take care
*You're not my...
Elizabeth is so full of drama drama! Why is she whispering? Liz also liked to play the poor victim it seems.
?????????????
What little shown of Elizabeth's body is plump here, but it's disrespectful to call her Giant Elizabeth Taylor.
The liner under her left eye is a little heavy. The blouse is wrong, too: something more structured..
She's Amazing. Beautiful as ever.
nothing is wrong!
Oh shut up!
Yes babe I concur. It was 80's and return of the shoulder pads from the 40's Joan Crawford days/ewww. Also make up
Artist were not used for every single event like they are now for actresses. Liz Literally DID her own makeup a few days on Cleopatra as the MUA got sick lmfao
I love her eyeliner
She was soooo weird. She never saw a film storyboard? Get real those have been used since film began. Seriously Taylor knew how to pretend so many things for the camera. She always felt she had to perform. In this interview there are flashes of direct truth alternating with whimsy reverie schtick.
She was 16 or 17 when she said she hadn't seen a storyboard. It was her first adult role so probably paid more attention to the technical aspects of film making.
Who was the interviewing her?
She said your father to the interviewer, who was the interviewers dad?
George Stevens
