Here, from New York Times bestselling biographer Grace May Carter, are the extraordinary lives of Ingrid Bergman, Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, and Elizabeth Taylor.

The definitive story of Hollywood's most famous couple.
He was a tough-guy Welshman softened by the affections of a breathtakingly beautiful woman; she was a modern-day Cleopatra madly in love with her own Mark Antony. For nearly a quarter of a century, Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were Hollywood royalty, and their fiery romance - often called "the marriage of the century" - was the most notorious, publicized, and celebrated love affair of its day.

As a tribute to Elizabeth Taylor, BBC4 shows this film from her visit to Britain in 2000 during which she received her damehood from the Queen. Hollywood's last great star talks for the first time in years about her career, her life, and the challenges of the future.

Autopsy documentary about the life of Elizabeth Taylor My role was to play American Nicky Hilton first husband of Elizabeth Taylor in the 1950's. I come home early in the morning stinking of booze and concede to have an argument with Elizabeth. The argument gets heated until I strike Elizabeth with my hand. The scene ends there What was said is entirely improvised by the actors.
