hosted a televised concert celebration of his 30th year as a solo entertainer.
Elizabeth sat in Michael's private box and even spoke to the sold-out arena's crowd, introducing The Jacksons' performance that night.
Just a month after Mike Todd’s passing, Elizabeth returned to the set to complete filming Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Still grieving, she worked alongside co-star and friend Paul Newman to give audiences a heart-wrenching performance as Maggie the Cat.
“The love that we had was more powerful than any love I’ve ever known. There was no name for it then, and there’s no name for it now.”

On this day 66 years ago, Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman graced the big screen as co-stars in the American classic Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, originally a play by Tennessee Williams.
Filled with drama, hurt, lost love, and more, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a must-watch film!

In 1989, Elizabeth Taylor told the world what it meant for her to speak up about AIDS. By 1991, she had established the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, a foundation fighting for an AIDS-free world. Elizabeth was more than an actress, she was an activist who fought for justice.
Ever wonder where Elizabeth’s Cleopatra ensemble is today? Our in-house Fashion Specialist has been hard at work restoring it, starting with the base of the dress pictured here.

62 years ago today, “Suddenly, Last Summer” was released in theaters. The film, an adaptation of the play by Tennessee Williams, stars Elizabeth Taylor and her dear friend Montgomery Clift in the roles of Cathrine Holly and Dr. Cukrowicz, respectively.
While filming “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” Elizabeth received the news that her husband, Mike Todd, had passed away. After only 5 weeks, she returned to work and finished production. Today, we remember Mike Todd and his love with Elizabeth that didn’t last nearly long enough.
Mike Todd gifted Elizabeth this Cartier ruby and diamond necklace, bracelet, and earrings at a villa just outside Monte Carlo, where they were staying about three months into their marriage.
