Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in London, England………to American parents . At age seven the family moved to America when the clouds of war were brewing in Europe. They settled in Los Angeles. At age 10 Elizabeth made her second movie. At MGM she appeared in LASSIE COME HOME. A star was born……she was signed to a contract.
She was a beauty………..inside and out. Her support of GAYS and those suffering with AIDS was legion. She personally gave millions for AIDS research and raised millions more from her friends. She would have been appalled that the IRISH would not allow GAYS to march in the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade in NY….and other cities as well.
