Elizabeth Taylor

Dubbed as one of the most beautiful women of all time, Elizabeth Taylor was an actress, businesswoman, and humanitarian. She debuted her acting career in the film, There’s One Born Every Minute and continued to appear in other movies such as Father of the Bride and A Place in the Sun. She rose to fame with her role as Cleopatra. Decades after, the film is still one of the most memorable Hollywood productions of all time. The actress continued to star in a string of other blockbusters, including The Sandpiper, The Taming of the Shrew, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, and The VIPs.

With her success, she didn’t need small business loans to start her fragrance and jewelry business. Elizabeth Taylor was born to socially prominent American parents in London. But in 1939, her family moved to Los Angeles so she could pursue a minor role in a movie. However, she was offered a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer, which changed everything for her. Following this, she became a teenage sensation and the rest is history.
