A landmark celebrity biography, Elizabeth Taylor: The Last Star chronicles the extraordinary life of one of Hollywood's most iconic and enduring figures, from her childhood as a child actress to her reign as the last true movie star of the golden age. Kitty Kelley, known for her unflinching and meticulously researched biographical work, uncovers the turbulent personal life behind the glamour — the eight marriages, the fierce passions, the battles with addiction and illness, and the relentless pursuit of love. Written with Kelley's signature bold and probing style, the narrative presents Taylor not merely as a screen legend but as a deeply complex woman shaped by fame, fortune, and personal tragedy. Drawing on hundreds of interviews with friends, colleagues, and insiders, it illustrates how Taylor's life both reflected and defied the constraints of Hollywood's studio system and the era's rigid social expectations. The result is a vivid, compulsively readable portrait of a woman who was, in every sense, larger than life.
