I am Elizabeth Taylor, I was an English-American actress. I began my career as a child actress in the early 1940s and was one of the most popular stars of classical Hollywood cinema in the 1950s. I then became the world's highest-paid movie star in the 1960s, remaining a well-known public figure for the rest of my life. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked me seventh on its greatest female screen legends list.
