 | Elizabeth Taylor (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was married eight times to seven husbands. When asked why she married so often, she replied, "I don't know, honey. It sure beats the hell out of me," but then added, "I was taught by my parents that if you fall in love, if you want to have a love affair, you get married. I guess I'm very old-fashioned."
The Elizabeth Taylor Jewelry Collection set a new world record (by a very large margin) for the most valuable private collection of jewels sold at auction, bringing $115,932,000 in 2011. |  |
