Editor's Take:
Elizabeth Taylor was one of the last great stars of Hollywood's studio era. She went from child actress to two-time Oscar winner and the highest-paid star of her day. Her eight marriages, including two to Richard Burton, made her a fixture of the gossip pages. In later life she used her fame for a cause many others avoided, raising huge sums for AIDS research. That courage is now a central part of her legacy.
