Elizabeth Taylor [əˈlɪzəbəθ ˈteɪlə], communément appelée Liz Taylor, est une actrice britannico-américaine, née le 27 février 1932 dans le quartier d'Hampstead Garden Suburb de Londres et morte le 23 mars 2011 dans le quartier de Beverly Grove de Los Angeles.

Elle commence sa carrière à l’âge de dix ans et rencontre aussitôt le succès en tournant dans des films tels que Fidèle Lassie, le mélodrame Le Grand National (qui lui vaut son premier triomphe personnel) réalisé par le réalisateur favori de Greta Garbo, Clarence Brown, Les Quatre Filles du docteur March mis en scène par Mervyn LeRoy (qui révéla Lana Turner), la comédie Le Père de la mariée de Vincente Minnelli et sa suite Allons donc, papa !.

Les films Une place au soleil et Géant, réalisés par George Stevens, avec respectivement Montgomery Clift, James Dean et Rock Hudson, la consacrent, en 1956, comme une icône du cinéma.
Étoile de Hollywood dans les années 1950 et 1960, elle reçoit deux Oscars pour ses rôles dans La Vénus au vison et Qui a peur de Virginia Woolf ?. Ses autres grands succès incluent La Chatte sur un toit brûlant, Soudain l’été dernier ainsi que Cléopâtre et La Mégère apprivoisée.

Plus rare sur grand écran à partir des années 1970 en raison de sa santé précaire et de l’insuccès de ses films dès la fin des années 1960. Elizabeth Taylor se consacre par la suite à la lutte contre le sida avant même la mort en 1985 de son ami l'acteur Rock Hudson.

En 1999, l’American Film Institute distingue Elizabeth Taylor comme la septième plus grande actrice de tous les temps, dans le classement AFI’s 100 Years… 100 Stars.

Par ailleurs, elle a régulièrement défrayé la chronique au sujet de sa vie privée, essentiellement à propos de ses nombreux mariages.

He was married four times, including to Elizabeth Taylor, with whom he had two sons.

Michael Todd (born Avrom Hirsch Goldbogen; June 22, 1907 – March 22, 1958) was an American theater and film producer, celebrated for his 1956 Around the World in 80 Days, which won an Academy Award for Best Picture. Actress Elizabeth Taylor was his third wife. Todd was the third of Taylor's seven husbands, and the only one Taylor did not divorce. He died in a private plane accident a year after they married.

Richard Walter Burton (; born Richard Walter Jenkins Jr.; 10 November 1925 – 5 August 1984) was a Welsh actor.

Noted for his mellifluous baritone voice, Burton established himself as a formidable Shakespearean actor in the 1950s and gave a memorable performance as Hamlet in 1964. He was called "the natural successor to Olivier" by critic Kenneth Tynan. Burton's perceived failure to live up to those expectations disappointed some critics and colleagues; his heavy drinking added to his reputation as a great performer who had wasted his talent. Nevertheless, he is widely regarded as one of the finest actors of his generation.

Burton was nominated for an Academy Award seven times but never won. He was nominated for his performances in My Cousin Rachel (1952), The Robe (1953), Becket (1964), The Spy Who Came In from the Cold (1965), Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), Anne of the Thousand Days (1969) and Equus (1977). He received numerous accolades, including a BAFTA Award, a Golden Globe Award and a Grammy Award. He received the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical for his portrayal of King Arthur in the Lerner and Loewe musical Camelot (1960).

In the mid-1960s, Burton became a top box-office star. By the late 1960s, he was one of the highest-paid actors in the world, receiving fees of $1 million or more plus a share of the gross receipts. Burton remained closely associated in the public mind with his second wife, Elizabeth Taylor. The couple's turbulent relationship, married twice and divorced twice, was rarely out of the news.
