Elizabeth Taylor is one of the most beautiful women on the planet. Her creativity and lifestyle did not fade away for many years until her death. Already at birth (February 27, 1932), the girl caused fear in her parents with her unusually thick eyelashes. And when the color of the eyes of Elizabeth Taylor changed the infant blue to a violet hue, parents considered it beneficial to turn to specialists.
Doctors assured that there is nothing wrong with that. They claimed that Elizabeth Taylor, whose eye color had acquired a rare purple hue, did not suffer from any pathology. The reason for this is a mutation at the gene level, called the
Origin of Alexandria. The name was given to this phenomenon by a legend whose history says that the inhabitants of an Egyptian village once saw a
flash of light in the sky and after that they began to give birth to children with wonderful
purple eyes. The first girl officially registered in 1329 with such a shade of eyes was called Alexandria. Subsequently, this phenomenon was named in her honor.
However, there is another opinion that casts doubt on the natural purple color of the eyes of Elizabeth Taylor. Skeptical individuals claim that spotlights on the set have such an effect, and the eyes of the great actress are actually quite common gray-blue.
The appearance of the actress causes heated discussion so far. Chiseled features
Elizabeth Taylor, eye color, photos of which can be found close-up and from different angles on the Internet, once again prove the originality of this actress. It is known that when she first appeared at the casting, she was asked to wash off the excess mascara in her eyes and did not immediately believe that the girl not made up at all.
It is not surprising that the owner of such a stunning appearance was constantly surrounded by the attention of men. Her numerous marriages (and there were as many as 8) caused gossip in society, and some applicants for the beauty’s hand and heart were honored more than once. On the set of Cleopatra, Elizabeth Taylor's eye color, underlined by a bright eyeliner, won the heart of her future husband Richard Burton. However, the actress called Mike Todd, who died in a plane crash, as her beloved man.
All husbands showered Elizabeth with jewelry. Many of them were considered exclusive - the pearl of Peregrine is a vivid example of this. Therefore, it is not surprising that after the death of the actress, her collection of jewelry was auctioned for more than $ 100 million (the preliminary estimated cost of jewelry was $ 20 million).
But in fairness it should be noted that the color of the eyes of Elizabeth Taylor and her bright beauty were not her only virtue. The actress is the owner of three statuettes of the American Film Academy. The first two Oscars brought her roles in the films Butterfield 80 and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. And the last honorary award was presented to her in 1993 for humanitarian activities.
Despite the controversial attitude towards her person, Elizabeth Taylor left an unusually vivid trace in the history of the film industry.
