I recently finished reading a biography on Elizabeth Taylor. She was never one of my idols; however, I was very curious to find out how a woman can possibly have eight marriages!? Although I do believe that she lived her life in search of fame, riches and people’s worship of her, there is undoubtedly much to admire her for. Pushed by her mother to achieve Hollywood status since she was nine, she could never be like most other people: average. Fame would haunt her for the rest of her life. Everything had to be big: her furs, her diamonds, her movie premiers, her achievements, as well as her dramas. Most women would give anything to live a week of her life; but I am wondering, how much of all that glamour and sophistication really made her happy? Reading her biography, it is quite evident not much of it. She had staged marriages, numerous affairs, multiple scandals brought upon by her one after another divorces, and to top it all off, never-ending health problems. Thus it ‘s not hard to understand why a woman who had it all, sought refuge in eating, drinking, substance abuse and many other of that sort.

She remains nevertheless an unbeatable legend …
