Elizabeth Taylor was born in England in
1932. She was a very beautiful child, with black hair and bluish-purple
eyes. In 1939, she and her family moved to America, where film
makers soon noticed her beauty. She became a child star at the age of nine, and
appeared in the film "Lassie" and "National Velvet". Elizabeth Taylor is one of
the few child film stars who have been quite successful when they grow
up. She has made many well-known films all her life: one of them
is "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" in 1958. Her personal life has not been as successful
as her films. She has got married eight times. She has often
been ill with back problems and has had many operations. In 1981, after she left
her second husband, she was in such low spirits that she turned to food, drink
and drugs (毒品) for comfort. For the first time in her life, her beauty left her
and she put on a lot of weight. However, in 1983, she went to
stay in a hospital, and there she worked hard to give up her addiction
(瘾). Today she is a grandmother and she has her film star looks
again. |
