15 Elizabeth Taylor Quotes to Make You Get Up and Get Things Done

Having starred in more than fifty movies, Elizabeth Taylor is one of film's most celebrated stars. For more than seven decades we’ve been admiring her beauty, charisma and talent in dealing with emotionally charged characters.

Taylor had performance in her blood as her mother was also an actress until she got married. Young Liz began her career with dancing at the age of three and soon drew the attention of Universal Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. She made her screen debut when she was 10 and hypnotized everyone with her striking violet eyes rimmed by dark double eyelashes. Yes…violet. The real deal, no contact lenses.


Elizabeth’s personal life was a subject of constant media attention because of her eight marriages and serious illnesses. She is also known for her devotion to raising money for research to fight HIV/AIDS; in 1991 she launched the Elizabeth Taylor HIV/AIDS Foundation.
