Elizabeth Taylor Revealed ‘Extremely Intimate Personal Feelings’ in Newly Unearthed Interviews


Elizabeth Taylor's 'intimate personal feelings' were unearthed in new interviews, and Closer has all the details on her revelations about her love life and more.

“It is so rare to have such a legendary star give extremely intimate personal feelings about their life,” Nanette Burstein, director of the documentary, which premieres August 3, tells Closer. “I felt very much the inadequate teenage Hollywood sort of puppet that had just worn pretty clothes and hadn’t really acted except with horses and dogs,” she said of being cast in 1951’s A Place in the Sun, her first adult movie, opposite Montgomery Clift. Her costar’s death led to a “whole period of examining my own life,” she said, but less than two years later, Elizabeth discovered a new depth of grief when her third husband, Michael Todd, was killed in a plane crash.
