Wildly cheering, the crowd paid homage to the woman whose beauty had for so long enchanted the America. Now ripe and opulent at forty-nine, she no longer looked like the little girl who had ridden to glory in National Velvet; but the audience did not care, She could still bestow a touch of magic.”—from the preface

Customer Reviews
Elizabeth Taylor
This book was honest, detailed and drew a human picture of the last great dame of Hollywood. Liz was a complex, needy, spirited women that was torn between standing on her own as an independent women and living up to the morals and principals placed upon young women of her generation. Thank you Kitty for a great journey!
