While she’s remembered as a movie icon, Elizabeth Taylor’s personal life is just as legendary. Her unmatched beauty and VIP suitors made Elizabeth’s love life a tabloid mainstay throughout her 79 years. The screen siren was married eight times, but only to 7 men, as Richard Burton had the honor of marrying – and divorcing – Liz twice. From her unions, she became a mother of four.
Here, the ‘National Velvet’ actress appears aboard the liner RMS Queen Mary with her first husband, hotel heir Conrad Hilton, in 1950. The pair wed in 1950 in a luxurious wedding with 600 guests and legions of fans rooting for the then-18-year-old bride from outside. Sadly, it wasn’t meant to be and the couple divorced just a year later. Years on, Elizabeth would admit she came into the marriage “very naive”.
