    Becoming Elizabeth Taylor | Chapter 1
    Oct 3 2022
    To truly know and understand Elizabeth Taylor, we must start from the beginning. Elizabeth’s ambitious spirit was unmistakable early in life.  The relationship with her parents and the push into the glamour and prestige of Hollywood collided with the reality of a male-dominated business – one that was more interested in making Taylor a product, than the person she knew herself to be. Still, Elizabeth was different.  She found ways to escape the pressures of Hollywood, define who she was, and discover what mattered.  She developed an early confidence in herself - an intuition that would guide her, as she transformed into a star.

Wonderful

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to all the episodes. It was great to hear stories and insights from the people who were closest to her. It was fascinating to learn all the ways in which Elizabeth courageously broke down barriers and used her power for good.
