Adonis Diaries

Liz Taylor died on March 23 in Los Angeles.  Liz first marriage was at 17; she could be funny:  She got married 8 times.  At her seventh trial for wedding again, the judge asked her:  “Name me the other six husbands”.  Liz replied: “Is that a memory test?”.

Liz wore a wrist bracelet saying: “I am Liz Taylor. If you find me, take me back to my master”

At her eighth divorce, Liz said: “I am looking for a kind and sensible man.  Is that too much demanding of a millionaire?”

Actually, when she was single at a young age, Liz was harassed to marry.  She would say: “What do you want me to do with a husband?”

In Cannes of 1980, Liz was dipping her bread in oil “olio vergine” and smiled saying: ” I had no luck with my choices of husbands.  The first husband (impotent Nicholas Hilton) left me.  The second, (Michael Wilding) I left him.  The third, (Eddie Fisher, drug addict) I left him…”

She fell in love with Montgomery Cliff, a homosexual, with whom she acted “Suddenly last summer”, at the period lobotomy was the in-thing in the US.  Katherine Hepburn was no match to Liz as the leading actress,  She loved James Dean, another homosexual.  While shooting “Giant”, Liz had long conversations with Dean, stretching into the night.  They became friends and Dean felt the need to confide:  A priest had molested him when he lost his parents at a very young age.

The other leading actor in “Giant” was Rock Hudson, another homosexual.  When Hudson died of AIDS, Liz started a campaign for a cure to AIDS.

At the set of shooting “Cleopatra”, Richard Burton, a famous theater actor in England, was practically a non-entity in the movie industry.  Burton plan was to grab this opportunity and made Liz fall in love with him.  Burton created a tantrum in Rome and the USA when he declared to the paparazzi: “I fucked Liz over the hood of my Cadillac”.  Burton was happily married with children and returned to his wife in Switzerland after the end of the film.

Liz wanted nothing but Burton.  She faked several suicide attempts and the couple ended divorcing their corresponding partners and getting wed.  Liz and Richard were front page in dailies and magazines for many years.  It was not an easy relationship:  Each one wanted to be the boss in the marriage.  The movie “Who is afraid of Virginia Woolf?” described the tag of war between the couple.   They were both excellent in their roles.  As Liz received the Oscar for that movie, Richard understood that he had no chance against Liz as a leading actor in movies.  Richard sunk into drunkenness: He was alcoholic.

Liz and Richard separated, divorced, remarried, re-divorced. Liz never gave Richard a reprieve:  She was terribly jealous.  She used to attend all of Richard theater scenes in New York for six months.  Richard died at the age of 59 from a brain hemorrhage in Switzerland.  Liz prayed on his tomb a couple of days later.  Later in her life, she was asked: “Do you think that you will meet with Richard again?” Liz thought a little and replied: “yes, we are bound to meet”

One stable behavior with Liz is shopping for jewelry every time she was feeling down, and her husbands and boyfriends lavished her with what she desired.  She befriended Michael Jackson who covered her with carats of gold,  emeralds and pearls.

Liz was born in England in 1932.  She started acting in Hollywood at the age of 9.  She acted with dog Lassie, famous horses, birds of paradise…Her father abandoned her and Liz got into the habit of eating ice-cream with her friend Judy Garland, and getting fat.  It is reported that Howard Hughes was willing to shed one million of dollars for one night with Liz at the age of 14.

Liz Taylor is a trade-mark  slut:  The most engaged slut against injustices, oppression, debil laws, stupidity of men, maltreatment…After Liz departure, not many men will suffer sudden heart attacks when she looked them straight in the eyes.  She was not educated and her vocabulary was limited:  She didn’t study Shakespeare or did theater.  She said at 17:  “How do you expect me to concentrate on my study when Robert (first husband) keeps his tongue in my mouth?”
