Credible depth of knowledge biographer David Bret sheds new light on the Elizabeth Taylor we thought we knew her feud with Louis B Mayer her friendship with Montgomery Clift the abuse she suffered at the hands of Nicky Hilton the real story behind the Taylor Fisher Reynolds love triangle and of course her epic relationship with Richard Burton just as stormy in real life as it was on film With co Checking his bio details in Wikipedia I discover David Bret has made a tidy living writing books about stars If they re all as trashy as this one I don t think I ll bother chasing them up Luckily a star of Liz Taylor s calibre can survive the treatmentThere s no point in going into much detail about this book it s simply a catalogue of Taylor s progress from child performer through Hollywood Princess to megastar chiefly in terms of her movies affairs and marriages to her final apotheosis as global goddess celebrity who championed AIDS sufferers and campaigned tirelessly for research into the disease Despite her excesses deplored even by her great friend Montgomery Clift she is rightly admired for her stance on gays and AIDS campaigning and remembered fondly by friends and fans alike Even the fact that Bret cites few sources for his many claims hardly matters the book is full of the sort of prurient gossipy stuff you find in trashy magazines His many claims that practically everyone in Hollywood was gay or bisexual don t really stand out either they ve been repeated elsewhere Recommended for beach reading holiday light reading or convalescence

Mpassion and admiration Bret describes Taylor's later years including her fight for AIDS awareness and support for gay rights her strange friendship with Michael Jackson and her deteriorating health leading up to her untimely death on March 23 2011 Elizabeth Taylor The Lady The Lover The Legend is a shockingly honest richly detailed book about one of the greatest Hollywood superstars of all time Trashy but entertaining
