UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL,
This review is from: Liz an Intimate Collection: Photographs of Elizabeth Taylor (Hardcover)
Surely Elizabeth Taylor is one of the most beautiful women to ever walk on planet Earth. Actors, models, celebs often worry about having their "good side" photographed. Don't believe La Taylor has a bad side. Not convinced, want proof? Browse through "Liz An Intimate Collection," a coffee table volume devoted to the face that sent most men "over the moon."
Photographer Bob Willoughby first shot Taylor in 1950 at a baby shower she was co-hosting for her then sister-in-law Marilyn Hilton.(sister of husband No. 1). Willoughby's comment about that moment: "I felt like I was flying." Friendship between star and cameraman was to grow over the years as Taylor allowed him to shoot photos of her more private moments with family as well as on the sets of her many films. Recipient of the 2004 Lucie Award for Achievement in Still Photography in Motion Pictures, Willoughby has photographed many of filmdom's greats. Yet, it's safe to guess that he approached none of his subjects with as much enthusiasm as he did Taylor. This volume is a photographic record of the years between 1950 and 1965 (closing with the Richard Burton years). Among the 160 pages readers will find many photos that have never before been published, as well as shots on the working sets of Raintree County and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (Even in this film her beauty is difficult to disguise). "Liz" is sure to be enjoyed by both film buffs and Taylor fans - plus, just think what it'll do for your coffee table! - Gail Cooke

This review is from: Liz an Intimate Collection: Photographs of Elizabeth Taylor (Hardcover)
This book by no means even encompasses half of her career. This book only has pictures from less than a dozen of the movies she made. Compilation was incomplete.
