Elizabeth Taylor is the ultimate icon of Old Hollywood glamour. She seemed to have it all — beauty, fame, and a life filled with love. She was such a captivating woman, that she ended up walking down the aisle 8 times with 7 different men. And she became as famous for these romantic escapades as she was for her brilliant acting.

We at Bright Side are fascinated by all the love Elizabeth Taylor received and shared throughout her life, so we summed up the most interesting tidbits about each of her marriages.

Elizabeth Taylor was a young actress who was known for her unique beauty.

Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in 1932. She started in Hollywood as a child star, until she transitioned into mature roles in the 1950s by starring in romantic films.

Taylor became the highest-paid movie star during the 1960s. She is also a multi-award-winning actress, with 3 Oscars and 4 Golden Globes under her belt.

Taylor was considered to be the most beautiful woman in the world during her prime, and was reportedly described as a “miracle of construction.”

Her gorgeous hair, hourglass figure, rare violet eyes, and double-row of eyelashes (due to a genetic mutation) made her so exquisite, that some researchers even analyzed her features.

She thought her roles made her yearn to be an adult, which triggered a string of marriages.

Taylor said her onscreen image made her want to be a real woman and a wife. And she saw marriage as a way for her to live independent adulthood. She also admitted to being an “incurable romantic.”
