I had heard on TV that funeral services would be private, and I'm sure her relatives didn't want this to turn into a media circus - and also, having a very fast funeral was a good way to thwart the idiots from the Westboro Church from making a disgraceful scene near the cemetary.

Well I learn something new everyday. She had her funeral the next day because she had converted to Judaism.

I'm not exactly certain when Elizabeth Taylor converted to Judaism. Both Mike Todd and Eddie Fisher were Jewish. I didn't know she still considered herself a Jew.

...If you read Carrie Fisher's book "Wishful Drinking", you'll find someone who definitely did NOT love Liz! For whatever reason, Carrie Fisher did once take part in a celebrity tribute/roast honoring Elizabeth Taylor, sometime during the 1980's or 90's. I remember seeing a brief clip in which Fisher uttered the hilarious line: "The greatest contribution Elizabeth Taylor made to our family was to get Eddie Fisher out of the house."

Yes, I just heard that amount today. As a matter of fact the report said possibly one billion???  She made much I guess off her perfume as well. Btw, I know she has at least two kids but I don't think I've ever seen them. TIS

...I heard this morning that Liz was the first actress to make one million dollars (as Cleopatra)... That's been well known for years. Elizabeth Taylor once told the story of how that came about. Said she was soaking in the bathtub and husband Eddie Fisher answered the phone. He told her that the producers at 20th Century Fox were offering her the lead in 'Cleopatra'. Liz had no interrest & sarcastically said..."Tell them I'll do it for a million dollars." Assuming that would put an end to the offer right there. A few minutes later Eddie came back and told her they said ok. All there was left to do was sign the contract...and the rest as they say...is history. Apple

HOLY COW...I had completely forgotten that they had adopted a child. My bad!! This link has a photo gallery which includes a 2007 pic of Liz & all 4 of her children, at her 75th birthday party. http://www.life.com/gallery/22489/elizabeth-taylor-as-a-mother#index/11I think Chris Wilding looks the most like Elizabeth...while Liza Todd & Michael Wilding, Jr. more resemble their fathers.

Elizabeth Taylor's nude photo at 24 seen for first time A goddess revealed: Intimate portrait of Liz Taylor at 24 seen for the first time By Liz Thomas Countless photographs have paid homage to Liz Taylor’s fabulous figure. But none has been so revealing as this. A private collector has released the only known picture of the star – then aged 24 – posing nude. It is understood to be the first time the photo has been shown publicly. It was an engagement gift from Miss Taylor to producer Michael Todd, who was her third husband. The picture was taken by one of her closest friends, actor and photographer Roddy McDowall. He persuaded her to pose naked by promising her it would be done tastefully. She then gave it to Todd as a present after he proposed in 1956 – the pair married a few months later but the relationship was tragically short-lived. Todd was killed 13 months after their wedding day when his private plane crashed during a storm over New Mexico. Full Article

Wow. She was just gorgeus. Yes, she was. And all class. It prompts me to ask: with so many puttane out there among the coterie of female so-called stars who spread their legs for the cameras at the drop of a hat, I wonder if stars such as Taylor would have been disposed to do so? What about Bacall, Lamour, Garbo, Leigh, Hayworth, Bergman, just to name a few?
