Elizabeth Taylor

Pyramid Illustrated History of the Movies

by Foster Hirsch

The Pyramid Illustrated History of the Movies is a series of volumes that offers a comprehensive overview and brings a fresh perspective to the influential figures, forms, and styles in the development of motion pictures. Each lavishly illustrated volume has been designed to stimulate the interest of the student for whom film is an art, and to stir the memories of the fan for whom "going to the movies" will always be an exhilarating experience. -- Over the years Elizabeth Taylor has matured from the appealing, fresh faced young girl of National Velvet to the powerful, sensitive actress of Suddenly, Last Summer and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Foster Hirsch's book is both a thoughtful appraisal of her more than forty films and a tribute, in one hundred striking photographs, to one of the screen's most beautiful women.

Reviews

[Lisa · Rating 3 out of 5]

Leider erfährt man so gut wie nichts über Taylor's Privatleben. Ihre Filme werden jedoch recht ausführlich erläutert.

[Nel · Rating 4 out of 5]

A refreshing focus on Taylor's film career rather than eventful, scandalous life; fantastic, sensitive, occasionally acerbically witty criticism of her performances and films.
