Throughout their lives, I really am loved only two people: Michael Todd and Richard Burton, "once confessed in an interview Elizabeth Taylor, who is known to age 79 went away this year, the 23rd March.





Reporters found that the erotic session of the author was a close friend of Taylor's Roudy Makdauel, and photographs were taken in order to present them as a gift to Taylor's then fiance, producer Michael Todd.

A never-before-seen nude photograph of Elizabeth Taylor, taken when she was just 24, has been released by a private collector.

The picture appears in public for the first time, is said to be Taylor's engagement gift to producer Michael Todd, her third husband.

The photograph was taken by one of her closest friends, actor and photographer Roddy McDowall, who had persuaded her to pose naked by promising her it would be done tastefully, the Daily Mail reported.

Taylor gave the photograph to Todd as a present after he proposed in 1956. The the relationship was tragically short-lived as Todd died 13-months later when his private plane crashed during a storm over New Mexico.

The 'Cleopatra' star is believed to have given the nude photograph to her assistant and make-up artist Penny Taylor.

The photograph was bought by a private collector Jim Shaudis in 1980 and had been thought lost. But after her death from heart failure last week aged 79, he decided to show the image publicly for fans of the star.

that's tastefully indeed. But something about this "but after her death" seems not ok to me. Besides, I think the photo had to stay private, not sold in some auction.

I think someone was trying to get money from this photo. If its a private gift it should remain so.

I agree I'm sure Elizabeth wouldn't want this floating around. All the vultures come out after someone has passed.
