Episode 4: Elizabeth Taylor - Part 1
Elizabeth Taylor is predominantly known for two things – expensive jewellery and her marriages.
But there’s so much more to her. She successfully made the leap from child star to movie icon. She was a double Oscar winner. And her tenacity meant that the public finally took notice of the HIV/AIDS crisis.
