Elizabeth Taylor

Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor (27 February 1932 – 23 March 2011) was a British-American actress and one of the last great stars of classical Hollywood cinema. She and Michael Jackson became close friends in the late 1980s and remained so until her death; she was a vocal defender during the 1993 allegations and the 2005 trial. Michael called her “the love of my life” and arranged her 65th birthday gala in 1997. He attended her funeral by her wishes.
