LOS ANGELES, March 23: Hollywood legend and violet-eyed beauty Elizabeth Taylor, famed as much for her glamorous but stormy love life as for her five-decade Oscar-winning film career, died on Wednesday aged 79.
Taylor, arguably the last great star of Hollywood’s golden era, died six weeks after being admitted to Los Angeles’s Cedars-Sinai hospital with congestive heart failure, a condition she had struggled with for years.
“My mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humour, and love,” said her son Michael Wilding, adding she was surrounded by her children when she died.
Taylor won two Academy Awards for best actress, including in the 1966 classic “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” one of many films she played opposite Richard Burton. The Welsh-born actor was one of the great loves of Taylor’s life.
