The tributes & eulogies to Elizabeth Taylor were legion. A weeping Elton John said, We have just lost a Hollywood giant. More importantly, we have lost an incredible human being. In Elizabeth Taylor: The Lady, The Lover, The Legend, 1932?2011, acclaimed biographer David Bret has written the revealing, incisive & definitive life story of the most controversial cinematic icon since Mae West. While never yielding in his admiration & respect, Bret has stripped away the veneer to portray the star as she really was: sometimes arrogant, attention-seeking, avaricious, reckless, monstrous towards her peers, generous, even foolish at times but, above all, through the tumultuous relationships & the personal mayhem, a survivor.
