Elizabeth Taylor, 79, 1932-2011
It is no secret that Elizabeth Taylor’s acting career was stellar, and in terms of her beauty and acting talents, very few could match up. Unfortunately, her luck repeatedly ran out in terms of health. The Hollywood legend constantly struggled with one condition or another and was diagnosed with scoliosis early in life.
Taylor also suffered a near-fatal attack of pneumonia and a scary accident on set, which nearly damaged her spine. During Elizabeth’s last few years, she defeated skin cancer but still remained confined to a wheelchair due to the resulting weakness. What remains etched in our hearts is her mesmerizing smile and those stunning violet eyes!
