伊麗莎白·泰勒生平英文簡介：Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, DBE (27 February 1932 – 23 March 2011), also known as Liz Taylor, was an English-American actress. A former child star, she grew to be known for her acting talent and beauty, as well as her Hollywood lifestyle, including many marriages. Taylor was considered one of the great actresses of Hollywood's golden age. The American Film Institute named Taylor seventh on its Female Legends list.

Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in Hampstead, a wealthy district of North West London, the second child of Francis Lenn Taylor (1897–1968) and Sara Viola Warmbrodt (1895–1994), who were Americans residing in England.

At the age of three, Taylor began taking ballet lessons with Vaccani. Shortly before the beginning of World War II, her parents decided to return to the United States to avoid hostilities.

Taylor appeared in her first motion picture at the age of nine in There's One Born Every Minute, her only film for Universal Pictures. Less than six months after she signed with Universal, her contract was reviewed by Edward Muhl, the studio's production chief.

伊麗莎白·泰勒一直被看做是美國電影史上最具有好萊塢色彩的人物，慣有“好萊塢常青樹”和“世界頭號美人”之稱，尤其以一雙漂亮的藍紫色眼睛(violet eyes)聞名於世。由童星成長起來的她貌美如花，她可以清純，可以高雅，也可以妖豔，她的魅力、演技使她奪得3次奧斯卡獎，曾經的放縱，也使她顯得肥胖和衰老。她的美貌、她的電影、她的丈夫……使得半個多世紀以來的她始終是媒體追逐的目標。她彷彿是濃縮了的好萊塢樣本：藝術、美貌、金錢、愛情和註定要失敗的婚姻。2000年被英國女王授予爵士勳章，表彰她對電影事業作出的非凡貢獻。目前，她投身於慈善事業，致力於防治艾滋病的公益事業。

伊麗莎白·泰勒是真正的影星：紫羅蘭顏色的眼睛光彩照人，充滿活力。儘管她不是最有天賦的演員，她卻是最迷人的演員，她無與倫比的魅力永遠是焦點所在。很少有人能夠如此受到愛慕，同時又如此成爲奚落的對象和影射與閒言碎語的標地。在她身後，無數人聲名鵲起，又歸於孤寂，而泰勒的魅力卻長久不衰。名利是她活力的源泉，公衆目光是她永遠的侍從。她從不知適可而止，對她來說，要麼萬人之上，要麼一文不名。相對媒體而言，泰勒的成功(兩獲奧斯卡金像獎，一獲奧斯卡人道主義獎，第一個薪水百萬美元的演員，衆多的慈善工作)、失敗(健康、體重、　藥品治療及其他的悲劇)抑或是難堪(八次失敗的婚姻，電影災難，無數的醜聞)，都已經不僅僅是她一個人的事情了。
