Hollywood Legend Elizabeth Taylor passes away at 79

Hollywood film legend Dame Elizabeth Taylor has died at the age of 79. She passed away earlier today due to heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Hospital  in Los Angeles. Close by her were her 4 children Michael and Christopher Wilding, Liza Todd and Maria Burton.The Hampstead-born betty was inspiringly the epitome of glamour and lavish wealth, but sadly had been suffering from heart complications since November 2004. She became one of the youngest stars as a child and is most definitely one of the greatest actresses of Hollywood's golden age within the film industry, similar to the rise in fame from a young age of legendary artist Michael Jackson in the music industry. They were great friends and shared alot in common.

She married eight times, twice to Welshman Richard Burton, her greatest love - who in return showered her with diamonds, furs, homes and even a luxury yacht. She was hailed as the most breathtakingly beautiful woman in the world. Elizabeth is a phenomenal Hollywood icon, and the first star to earn $1,000,000 dollars for a film - with her irresistibly soft voice and unforgettable on screen presence. She appeared and was involved in more than 60 films and TV shows during her career - with her uniquely rich jet black hair, and strikingly beautiful violet eyes, she was more than a sex symbol for her generation and beyond. Born in London in the early 1930's, she held dual British American citizenship through her American parents, who returned to California  from England during the 2nd World War. She will be truly missed.
