BIO Channel takes a two-hour intimate look at the private life of a woman who was always in the public eye in BIO Remembers: Elizabeth Taylor.

An unequalled media phenomenon from childhood on, Elizabeth Taylor mesmerized audiences for over seven decades as the movie goddess who starred in roles like Cleopatra, A Place in the Sun and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and won Academy® Awards for her roles in Butterfield 8 and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? She was dubbed the most beautiful woman in the world and one of the most dedicated humanitarians of her time. She captured attention with her roles not only on the silver screen, but in her private life as well as the quintessential survivor of public battles with addiction, health difficulties and infamous love affairs.
