I always wondered why some people who are abused get their lives together and others end up falling into the Hollywood trap.

Nothing like a British tabloid to give you the real scoop. It is amazing what Elizabeth Taylor survived. What a crazy life.

Clearly, Elizabeth Taylor’s was a case of psychic Munchausen Syndrome By Proxy, something which seems to recur fairly often in Hollywood.

Nothing like passing away to encourage the Press to tear down your life and deeds.

Perhaps the worst legacy of all from this time was her belief that romance should be just as it was portrayed in her early films

Read "The Seven Marriages Of Your Marriage." The "Hollywood" marriage is a common misconception. Brats today get married thinking that insatiable lust/desire is the most important foundation. When they cool off, as everybody does, they think the marriage isn't good enough. Then they abandon the marriage looking for that Hollywood passion.

Few of them understand commitment.

Maybe it’s just me, but I read the whole article and didn’t see where her life was so hard that she deserves credit for “courage” or anything like that. I can only think that people who believe that she had it so rough must have had some pretty charmed lives, themselves. I’ve known dozens of people with far worse sob stories than hers who seemed to have handled their burdens far better.

I read that she said prior to dying that Elizabeth Taylor wanted more than anything to see Richard (Burton, presumably) and her mother and father, so I’d take this with a grain of salt.

Apparently, she adored her parents till the very end. Good for her.
