Archival Overview

Legendary Hollywood screen icon who won two Academy Awards (Butterfield 8, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?) and co-founded amfAR, raising hundreds of millions of dollars to battle HIV/AIDS.

Biographical Record

Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in London to American parents and became a child star in Hollywood classics like 'National Velvet' (1944). As an adult, her violet eyes and dramatic intensity made her one of the world's most bankable stars in films like 'A Place in the Sun', 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof', and 'Cleopatra' (1963).

Taylor won Best Actress Oscars for 'Butterfield 8' and her tour-de-force performance opposite Richard Burton in 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?'. Following the 1985 death of her close friend Rock Hudson, she co-founded the American Foundation for AIDS Research (amfAR) and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, breaking public taboos to raise over $270 million for research and treatment.
