Editorial Review Product Description This is the first biography of one of the greatest English writers of the last century. Betty Coles became Elizabeth Taylor upon her marriage in 1936. Her first novel At Mrs. Lippincote's appeared in the same year (1945) as the actress Elizabeth Taylor was appearing in National Velvet. Over the next thirty years, "the other Elizabeth Taylor" lived and worked in Buckinghamshire and published several titles of fiction. Nicola Beauman's biography draws on a wealth of hitherto undiscovered material. Nicola Beauman is the author of A Very Great Profession: The Woman's Novel 1914–39, Cynthia Asquith, and Morgan: a Life of EM Forster. She founded Persephone Books in 1999. Customer Reviews (3)

Editorial Review Product Description ?????An American icon for more than half a century, Elizabeth Taylor continues to fascinate the American public. From the mainstream media to the tabloid press, no other celebrity has received such overwhelming scrutiny, stirred so much scandal, or alternately been the target of both worldwide worship and condemnation. And yet just when we thought we knew everything about this screen siren, Ellis Amburn blows the lid off of Hollywood's best-kept secrets-secrets that have allowed Hollywood's most beautiful woman to remain its most misunderstood celebrity. ?????In The Most Beautiful Woman in the World, Ellis Amburn taps into previously unexplored primary sources to reveal the tragedies and triumphs of Elizabeth Taylor's exciting and tumultuous life. This wonderful new biography poignantly recounts the successful removal of a golf-ball size brain tumor; her courageous recovery after breaking her back twice within two years; the exciting launch of her fragrance line, which became an instant success; and her loving relationship with Rod Steiger, who nurtured her back to health after a nervous breakdown. Amburn also reveals Taylor's tragic and heartbreaking affection for Montgomery Clift and James Dean and explores Taylor's disastrous marriage to the abusive and philandering Nicky Hilton, who abandoned Liz on their honeymoon to be with another woman. And then there is the infamous and cunning Eddie Fisher, who forced Liz to appear at his Las Vegas shows in order to bring in capacity crowds, as well as accounts of Richard Burton's homosexual activities and his exploitation of Taylor. ?????With explosive new revelations about her love affairs and marriages, Ellis Amburn creates a portrait that will redefine everything we thought we knew about Elizabeth Taylor. The most significant and overlooked truth in Taylor's life that all of her major loving relationships have been with gay men, while all of her self-destructive love affairs have been with straight men-is an insight that is destined to deepen our love and understanding of the world's most beautiful woman.

UH-OH
How is really the World's most Beautiful Woman?
Salacious, outrageous and nauseating
A Stormy Sexual History of Hollywood Normally, biographers either like the person they write about or want to create a more accurate account of the person.Mr. Amburn did not seem to fall into either of these categories.His objective seems to be to portray some of the other people in Ms. Taylor's life more sympathetically. The book's main thesis is that Ms. Taylor has had loving relationships in her adult life with people who are gay or bisexual and unloving ones with everyone else.This connection is also made to Ms. Taylor's relationship with her father, despite the fact that she did not have a good relationship with him.But the book doesn't get beyond that into much of the motivation.Many men were attracted to Ms. Taylor like moths to the flame, and this attraction did nothing to bring out their better qualities.She seems to have lived in a world where her physical attractiveness made her a target for fans, men, and exploiters of all sorts.Little is made of the potential to see her as victim of peoples' perceptions of someone who is physically attractive.She also doesn't seem to get enough credit for generally being an open-minded person, which may explain her lack of sexual-orientation prejudice. According to press reports and this book, Ms. Taylor has had more than her share of illness, injury, and physical and emotional pain.Yet she has led a generally productive artistic life, and has played an increasingly important role in bringing sympathy and support to the cause of overcoming AIDS.It would have been natural to have focused on these positive reflections of her underlying character, and the difficulties involved in overcoming ceaseless, searing pain addiction.No one is going to be perfect under such circumstances.Yet the book wallows in her use of drugs and drinking to soften the pain, in endless tales that add little to the biography. Naturally, Ms. Taylor is famous in part for her marital difficulties.Those should have been in the book, but they became too much of the book to be rewarding to the reader. As someone who was a working actress for most of her life, another aspect of the book you might expect would be extended dicussions of her work.You will find relatively little of that.It is as though the author thinks that her work is of virtually no importance.I certainly was moved by her performances in National Velvet, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Giant, and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?I liked her performances in many other movies.I would have liked to have read much more about her work in these roles where she was more successful. The best part of this book is the beautiful color photograph of Ms. Taylor on the cover. If you are wondering why I did not give the book a one star review, it is because the photographs are good and the writing style is perfectly adequate.The three star downgrade is for misfocus, exploitation, and a hidden agenda. After you finish looking at Ms. Taylor's cover photograph, consider what you would like to know more about public figures.Then when you are thinking about reading a biography about that person, check to see if the biography focuses on the areas you care about before reading them.That will save you a lot of time. Also, ask yourself how we should consider someone's life.To what extent should we consider good deeds? Bad deeds?Repentance?Motives?Physical appearance?Obstacles to progress?Ms. Taylor's life raises these issues rather nicely. By the way, if you find a biography of Ms. Taylor that you like, please do write to me.I'd like to read it.
