Summary:  A figure of enormous charisma and cultural sway, Elizabeth Taylor intrigued a global audience with her marriages and extra-marital improprieties, as well as her extravagant jewelry, her never-ending illnesses, her dependency on alcohol, and her perplexing friendship with Michael Jackson. Despite her continued world-renown, however, most people would be hard-pressed to name even three of her films, though she made over seventy. Ellis Cashmore traces our modern celebrity culture back to a single instant in Taylor's life: the publicizing of her scandalous affair with Richard Burton in 1962, which announced the arrival of a new generation of predatory photojournalists and, along with them, a strange conflation between the public and private lives of celebrities. Taylor's public life, Cashmore reveals, epitomizes the modern phenomenon of "celebrity." Genre:  Biographies.
