Timeline
They moved to London in 1929 and opened an art gallery on Bond Street; their first child, a son named Howard, was born the same year.
The family lived in London during Taylor's childhood.
Their social circle included artists such as Augustus John and Laura Knight and politicians such as Colonel Victor Cazalet.
Cazalet was Taylor's unofficial godfather and an important influence in her early life.
She was enrolled in Byron House School, a Montessori school in Highgate, and was raised according to the teachings of Christian Science, the religion of her mother and Cazalet.
Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor (27 February 1932 – 23 March 2011) was a British and American actress.
Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born on 27 February 1932, at Heathwood, her family's home at 8 Wildwood Road in Hampstead Garden Suburb, northwest London, England.
She received dual British-American citizenship at birth as her parents, art dealer Francis Lenn Taylor and stage actress Sara Sothern, were United States citizens, both originally from Arkansas City, Kansas.
Born in London to socially prominent American parents, Taylor moved with her family to Los Angeles in 1939 at the age of 7.
In early 1939, the Taylors decided to return to the United States due to fear of impending war in Europe.
United States ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy contacted her father, urging him to return to the US with his family.
Sara and the children left first in April 1939 aboard the ocean liner SS Manhattan and moved in with Taylor's maternal grandfather in Pasadena, California.
Francis stayed behind to close the London gallery and joined them in December.
She began her career as a child actress in the early 1940s and was one of the most popular stars of classical Hollywood cinema in the 1950s.
She made her acting debut with a minor role in the Universal Pictures film There's One Born Every Minute (1942), but the studio ended her contract after a year.
She was then signed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and became a popular teen star after appearing in National Velvet (1944).
She transitioned to mature roles in the 1950s, when she starred in the comedy Father of the Bride (1950) and received critical acclaim for her performance in the drama A Place in the Sun (1951).
Despite being one of MGM's most bankable stars, Taylor wished to end her career in the early 1950s.
She resented the studio's control and disliked many of the films to which she was assigned.
She began receiving more enjoyable roles in the mid-1950s, beginning with the epic drama Giant (1956), and starred in several critically and commercially successful films in the following years.
She starred in the historical adventure epic Ivanhoe (1952) with Robert Taylor and Joan Fontaine.
These included two film adaptations of plays by Tennessee Williams: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), and Suddenly, Last Summer (1959); Taylor won a Golden Globe for Best Actress for the latter.
She then became the world's highest paid movie star in the 1960s, remaining a well-known public figure for the rest of her life.
Although she disliked her role as a call girl in BUtterfield 8 (1960), her last film for MGM, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance.
Taylor's acting career began to decline in the late 1960s, although she continued starring in films until the mid-1970s, after which she focused on supporting the career of her sixth husband, United States Senator John Warner.
During the production of the film Cleopatra in 1961, Taylor and co-star Richard Burton began an extramarital affair, which caused a scandal.
Dubbed "Liz and Dick" by the media, they starred in 11 films together, including The V.I.P.s (1963), The Sandpiper (1965), The Taming of the Shrew (1967), and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966).
Taylor received the best reviews of her career for Woolf, winning her second Academy Award and several other awards for her performance.
Despite public disapproval, they continued their relationship and were married in 1964.
She and Burton divorced in 1974 but reconciled soon after, remarrying in 1975.
The second marriage ended in divorce in 1976.
In the 1980s, she acted in her first substantial stage roles and in several television films and series.
She became the second celebrity to launch a perfume brand after Sophia Loren.
Taylor was one of the first celebrities to take part in HIV/AIDS activism.
She co-founded the American Foundation for AIDS Research in 1985 and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in 1991.
From the early 1990s until her death, she dedicated her time to philanthropy, for which she received several accolades, including the Presidential Citizens Medal.
Throughout her career, Taylor's personal life was the subject of constant media attention.
She was married eight times to seven men, converted to Judaism, endured several serious illnesses, and led a jet set lifestyle, including assembling one of the most expensive private collections of jewelry in the world.
In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked her seventh on its greatest female screen legends list.
After many years of ill health, Taylor died from congestive heart failure in 2011, at the age of 79.
