Elizabeth Taylor 7 Husbands Eight Marriages
Elizabeth Taylor was as famous for her love life as her acting. There were no fewer than eight marriages – though only seven husbands, as she married Richard Burton twice.
1 Conrad ‘Nicky’ Hilton (1950-1951) Her first marriage, to one of the heirs of the hotelier Conrad Hilton, ended in divorce after less than a year.
2 Michael Wilding (1952-1957) Marriage number two, to the British film actor, lasted a full five years and gave Taylor two sons, Michael and Christopher.
3 Michael Todd (1957-1958) Taylor was already pregnant with Todd’s daughter, Liza, when they married – but Todd died in a plane crash barely a year later.
4 Eddie Fisher (1959-1964) Eyebrows raised in Hollywood when Fisher, a singer, divorced the actress Debbie Reynolds to marry Taylor – his best friend’s widow.
5 Richard Burton (1964-1974 and 1975-1976) Widely regarded as the tempestuous love of Taylor’s life, Burton married (and divorced) her twice – they adopted a daughter, Maria.
6 John Warner (1976-1982) Taylor went from movie star to politician with her sixth husband, a Republican senator.
7 Larry Fortensky (1991-1996) Fortensky, a construction worker, became Taylor’s seventh and final husband.
