DICK SHEPPARD - Elizabeth. The Life and Career of Elizabeth Taylor

London England, W. H. Allen, 1975. 1st British Edition, Binding: Cloth, Good/Fair. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0491016824 Hardback Elizabeth Taylor has become one of the greatest, and possibly the last, of the old-line Hollywood stars. Five stormy marriges, two major scandals that rocked the world, unprecedented million-dollar salaries, and numerous illnesses have made her the most relentless publicised personality in the history of show business. This fascinating and candid biography goes behind the headline stories and reveals Elizabeth Taylor the person - not the public utility that the press continues to sensationalise. What emerges is a portrait of a complex, sensitive, and extremely intelligent woman with vast reserves of personality - raucous and shy, possessive and demanding, yet generous and compassionate. Illustrated. Slight foxing to end pages and edges. Some shelf wear to edges of D/J. Waterstain mark to inside of D/J. Price clipped.
