Elizabeth Taylor

Elizabeth Taylor was diagnosed with congestive heart failure in 2003 and had surgery for mitral valve regurgitation (sometimes called a "leaky heart valve"), a complication of her condition, in 2009.

Congestive heart failure, or CHF, commonly results from high blood pressure, heart valve disease or infection, and is one of the chronic health issues arising from poor lifestyle choices, such as smoking, drinking, drug abuse, obesity, and insufficient exercise, all problems Taylor experienced over the years. Doctors speculate Taylor's back problems (scoliosis and compressed discs), which caused chronic pain and depression, were a major factor in development of the disease.

CHF causes the heart to enlarge and weaken, making it incapable of pumping enough blood to supply other organs with adequate oxygen. This leads to stress on the kidneys, preventing them from eliminating sodium and fluid from the body, causing water retention and difficulty breathing.

Elizabeth Taylor had been hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment of CHF during the six weeks leading up to her death on March 23, 2011.

In Butterfield 8, Elizabeth drove a Sunbeam Alpine. Laurence Harvey drove a Mercedes-Benz 300, and Dina Merrill was chauffeured in a Chrysler Imperial Lebaron. All of the cars were 1960 models- the year the movie was filmed.

No, Robert Taylor was born Spangler Arlington Brugh on the 5th of August 1911 in Filley, Nebraska, USA. He was the son of a Nebraska doctor.

Whereas, Elizabeth Taylor (her real name) was the second child born to Francis and Sara Taylor, American expatriates living in London.

Elizabeth Taylor, who converted to Judaism for her marriages to Mike Todd and Eddie Fisher, is following the rules of the religion by being buried soon after her death Wednesday.

No. Elizabeth did not paint. She was a book lover.

Do a Google search. They are all pictured with her at her 75th birthday.

she suffered from a bout of smallpox, which leaves permanent (small) indentures in the area which they affect, she unfortunately had some on her face, so after surviving small pox she relied heavily upon makeup (a poisonous mixture of white lead, lemonjuice, and vinegar!)

Yes Elizabeth Taylor was a smoker

Elizabeth Taylor had four children. Two boys and two girls.

Dame Elizabeth owned numerous large diamonds. The largest ones are listed below. I chose only diamonds larger than 10 carats for this list:

1. A pair shaped 17 carat colorless diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds and sapphires. This ring was a gift from Michael Jackson.

2. A square cut 27.42 carat fancy yellow colored diamond with smaller colorless diamonds on the sides. She bought this ring as a gift for herself.

3. An emerald cut 29.4 colorless diamond. Engagement ring from Mike Todd.

4. The Burton Cognac Diamonds: The ring: A pear shaped 32.14 carat fancy colored deep brownish orangy yellow diamond surrounded by smaller colorless diamonds. The earrings: Each suspending a detachable modified pear-shaped fancy deep brown-yellow diamond, weighing approximately 7.87 and 6.83 carats, within a circular and baguette-cut diamond frame, to the circular and baguette-cut diamond shield-shaped surmount. All other diamonds in the earrings are colorless.

5. A set of earrings: Each suspending a detachable modified pear-shaped fancy yellow diamond, weighing approximately 15.60 and 15.38 carats, to the circular-cut, marquise-cut and pear-shaped diamond cluster surmount. All other diamonds in the earrings are colorless. A gift from Eddie Fisher for Elizabeth's 30th birthday. She was later sent the bill From Bulgari, which Eddie seemed to have forgotten to pay. A ring and a brooch of smaller colored and colorless diamonds accompanied the earrings.

6. The Elizabeth Taylor Diamond: Formerly named, "The Krupp," is an Asscher

cut Type IIA D color (colorless) potentially internally flawless 33.19 carat diamond with smaller triangular cut diamonds at the side. This Ring was a gift from Richard Burton in 1968.

7. The Taj Mahal Diamond is an approximately 50 carat heart shaped yellow diamond set set in jade and surrounded by red stones. The pendant is attached to a gold and colorless diamond and cabochon ruby necklace. The first record of the stone is in 1627-28 when Shah Jahangir had three inscriptions carved into the top of the stone: Nur Jahan, Baygum-e Padshah 23; and 1037. This means that Nur Jahan was a lady of Padshah, while the number 23 refers to the regnal year of Shah Jahangir, which was 1037 or the equivalent of 1627-8 A.D. While it is not known if Nur Jehan ever wore the stone, at some point Shah Jahangir presented the jewel to his son, Mughal Emperor Shah Jehan who in turn gave it to his favorite wife, Mumtaz-I-Mahal. After bearing him fourteen children, she died in 1631. Her mausoleum eventually came to be called The Taj Mahal. Richard Burton gave the necklace to Elizabeth as one of the spectacular gifts he presented her with for her fortieth Birthday in 1972.

8. The Taylor-Burton Diamond is a 69.42 carat Type IIA D color internally flawless diamond set in a ring which could also be detached and worn as a pendant. Elizabeth chose to wear the stone as a pendant after 1970 as she considered it too large for her hand. Richard Burton gave her the diamond in 1969. She subsequently sold it in 1979 while married to John Warner. After divorcing Warner in 1982 she expressed regret at selling the diamond. Burton paid 1.1 million US dollars for the Taylor-Burton. When Elizabeth sold it, she received 5 million US dollars.

Her full name (without husband's surnames) is Elizabeth Rosemund Taylor.

I think she was married to her son Michael Wilding, Jr.

Elizabeth Taylor was married eight times to seven different men. She married Richard Burton twice. She had four children; Liza Todd Burton, Christopher Wilding, Michael Wilding Jr., and an adopted daughter from Germany, Maria. Her children are involved in acting and AIDS activism as was their mother.

In her early career, her measurements are given on many websites as 36C-21-36, which is, in inches: bust, waist, hips. [1]

Her waist was exceptional for her chest and hips; she had a 1950s hour glass figure (Think Dita Von Teese).

I found here [2] that her waist was 19 inches! Her husband Richard Burton apparently said: "Her body was a true miracle of construction and the work of an engineer of genius."

Such measurements would be hard to give a modern dress size. She would be size 8 based on her waist, but size 12-14 based on her bust and hips. [3]

She was quite short 5'1"-3". So for someone of a taller frame such a waist would be unhealthy. But remember, it was her hour-glass figure that was so amazing, so for someone taller it would be the ratios that are important; not the measurements. Even as she grew older and was not so tiny in the waist she still had a great figure, but not skinny by modern standards. It was what she wore, not the size.

Probably not, since there is no credible evidence that she attended college; sorority life is often part of being on campus. Years later, several sororities offered her honorary membership, but there is no evidence that she joined any of them.

Queen Elizabeth I of England died in the year 1603. She had been queen for 45 years, which was ages at the time.

Her Mother was called Sara Warmbrodt and her Grandfather Samuel Warmbrodt.

Draw your own conclusions...

He either lives in Taos, NM or Hawaii and is alive and well.
