Welcome to Litsy!

I started this this morning and didn‘t budge until I finished it. What a read, what a force of nature. #elizabethtaylor #kateandersenbrower #oldhollywood #glamour #icon #philanthropist #activist

Couldn‘t wait to read this first-ever authorized bio on this fearless icon. Author Brower had exclusive access to Elizabeth‘s unpublished personal letters, diary entrees & off-the-record interviews with family & friends. It‘s the real story beyond all the marriages, scandals & Hollywood glitz. When Elizabeth took on the fight against AIDS while almost everyone else turned their backs, she truly changed the world. What an inspiration! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The book itself is comprehensive in covering her entire life & there are some lovely photos at the end, although it may have made more sense to have them distributed throughout the book. 4🌟

For a more thorough review https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5354871767 I couldn't really cut it down enough for here & have it make sense.

Y‘all, if Elizabeth freaking Taylor, at 32, though she was too old and too fat, it‘s no wonder so many of us are victims of unattainable standards.

This was excellent. I didn't realize what a badass Elizabeth Taylor was. If you enjoy celebrity biographies I highly recommend this. ✴️✴️✴️✴️

Great read
