Episode 237- Elizabeth Taylor with Author Matthew Kennedy Forgotten Hollywood

    • Film History

In this episode, I spoke with Matthew Kennedy about his book "On Elizabeth Taylor: An Opinionated Guide".  A sweeping look at the career of a truly singular Hollywood star.

In the oceans of ink devoted to the monumental movie star/businesswoman/political activist Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor (1932-2011), her beauty and not-so-private life frequently overshadowed her movies. While she knew how to generate publicity like no other, her personal life is set aside in this volume in favor of her professional oeuvre and unique screen dynamism.
