Review

Johnathon Hughes

Elizabeth Taylor, like other 20th- century icons Jackie Onassis and Princess Diana, is one of those celebrities we remain endlessly fascinated by. Director Nanette Burstein’s enlightening exploration of the film star’s inner self is hung on the discovery of newly unearthed audio interviews with Taylor conducted in 1964 by American journalist Richard Meryman, the last person to interview Marilyn Monroe before her death. This is a man who knows how to allow his subject to be open and vulnerable.

Taylor barely had a private life: every move (and marriage) was scrutinised. Here she is candid, amusing and driven, displaying insight into her dual roles as a person and a commodity. Nothing is off-limits, from her early days

as a child star to becoming a powerful woman in Hollywood — and, inevitably, her compelling romance with Richard Burton.
