Passionate, glamorous and truly independent, Elizabeth Taylor was the epitome of what it meant to be an “icon” at a time when Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, Marlon Brando and Elvis Presley were just barely earning their stripes to call themselves contemporaries. Known for her passionate love affairs (that led to her eight marriages), her fantastic on-screen performances the real woman was a paradox. A carefree, casual “mother earth” spirit who loved to be spoilt and dripping in millions of dollars worth of diamonds, even when swimming at home in her pool. Today, we share a few quotes from a woman who has earned her seat at the legendary table.
