Description
If you are a fanatic fan of Elizabeth Taylor like I am, you will know that there have been almost 70 books depicting her amazing life. One memoir of course titled Elizabeth Taylor which was written by the lady herself in 1964. Most editions are unsolicited and most rehash a story that has been told over and over again.
Elizabeth Taylor my celebrity connection, is my story and it began with a simple letter.
I wrote to Elizabeth Taylor way back in 1988. It was the second of her two visits to the Betty Ford Centre, the fi rst being back on December 5, 1983. Through my research I had discovered that Elizabeth had checked into the facility using the pseudo, Ruth Warner. I pinned, what was at the time, my favourite picture of Elizabeth into the inside of a get well card. The picture was returned signed by Elizabeth, and this was the inception of my decades of celebrity connection.
Many letters and cards followed and in 1992 I was declared by Miss Taylor as her number one fan and this became a wonderful penfriendship that lasted until her passing in 2011.
Over the years I amassed an extraordinary collection of all things Elizabeth Taylor, many items sourced from around the world and even from the personal home and wardrobe of the Hollywood icon. Elizabeth Taylor herself, even gifted a few trinkets here and there as a token of her appreciation of my unwavering celebrity connection.
In Elizabeth Taylor my celebrity connection, shoes, vintage fashion, personal effects and letters from the celebrity activist help to embellish the life story of the Queen of Hollywood.
Come with me as I navigate through the lifestyle that was Elizabeth Taylor and celebrate her life and my connection with celebrity.
Miss Taylor declared this book as being, " a very thoughtful and extensive volume, one that brought back so many memories and made her day so very special."
If you are a fan of celebrity or a collector of Hollywood memorabilia, I hope too, that this volume brings back and keeps alive, the memories that once were, and will forever be, Dame Elizabeth Taylor.
