Why Was Elizabeth Taylor Held As An Icon?
Elizabeth Taylor was a fashion icon
Taylor had always been a fashion icon. MGM’s costumers even helped Taylor pick the right clothes for her – the ones that enhanced the beauty of her face, chest and waist. Her love for jewellery is no secret. Reportedly her jewellery collection was worth $150 million when she died! If you didn’t know, Taylor had also written a book about her jewellery collection, titled ‘My Love Affair With Jewellery’ published in 2002. If you thought that this wasn’t enough, she also launched three perfumes of her own! Yep, Elizabeth Taylor was a fashion icon in the true sense!
Achieving the impossible
Here are some facts about Elizabeth Taylor that will blow your mind away. Second to only Princess Diana, Taylor had appeared on the cover of People’s Magazine 14 times. Taylor was the first actress to earn $1 million for the movie Cleopatra. She had also been ranked in virtually every popular magazine award that comes to mind – People’s magazine, Empire’s Top 100 list, etc. People like her defy all odds to push the bars of success higher and higher.
On the flip side, Elizabeth Taylor had also been addicted with sleeping pills, painkillers, alcohol and drugs. She managed to kick most habits and survive all the odds. What cannot be taken away from her is the love of the people. The people she had supported all her life. Whether it is her acting, her humanitarian work, her passion, or her kindness, Elizabeth Taylor will always be an icon in the eyes of millions around the world. RIP.
