7, Goodbye, Dame Elizabeth Taylor

Legendary actress Dame Elizabeth Taylor died at age 79 from congestive heart failure on March 23, 2011.

She rose from childhood stardom to become one of Hollywood's most talented and beloved actresses. Over a career spanning seven decades, Taylor was nominated for five Oscars - winning Best Actress twice. In real life, she battled problems with her weight and drug addiction. She was married eight times - twice to actor Richard Burton. She was buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, along with her longtime best friend, late singer Michael Jackson.

The landmark auctions of The Collection of Elizabeth Taylor at Christie's New York from December 3-17 realized a combined total of more than US$156.75 million. Every item was sold in what was a dazzling world record for a private jewelry collection. Part of the proceeds will go to The Elizabeth Taylor Aids Foundation, which she established in 1991.
