Elizabeth Taylor: The Lady, the Lover, the Legend, 1932-2011

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 304 pages. At 1.28 a.m. on Wednesday, 23 March 2011, just three weeks after celebrating her 79th birthday, the biggest star Hollywood has ever known died. The tributes and eulogies to Elizabeth Taylor were legion. A weeping Elton John said, 'We hav e just lost a Hollywood giant. More importantly, we have lost an incredible huma n being.'In Elizabeth The Lady, The Lover, The Legend - 1932-2011 , acclaimed bi ographer David Bret has written the revealing, incisive and definitive life stor y of the most controversial cinematic icon since Mae West. While never yielding in his admiration and respect, Bret has stripped away the veneer to portray the star as she really sometimes arrogant, attention-seeking, avaricious, reckless, monstrous towards her peers, generous, even foolish at times but, above all, thr ough the tumultuous relationships and the personal mayhem, a survivor.Elizabeth Taylor was the very last of the Hollywood greats. As David Bret writes, 'Most of her contemporaries - Garbo, Streisand and Dietrich excepted - were compelled to walk in the shadow of her sun. Of today's stars, not one may be deemed worthy o f stepping even within a mile of that shadow. Artikel-Nr. 6961b
