The scandal that kept Elizabeth Taylor in the spotlight
Taylor’s massive fame was bolstered by a string of scandals and personal tragedies. The star was married eight times throughout her lifetime, and juicy details about her personal affairs regularly graced headlines (and honestly still do even years after her death).
After Taylor’s husband, Mike Todd, tragically died in a plane crash in 1958, she found herself in the arms of his close friend Eddie Fisher. Fisher was married to Debbie Reynolds, who was widely known as Taylor’s very best friend. Taylor and Fisher married in 1959 and divorced five years later. The affair was one of the biggest celebrity relationship scandals of the 1950s, but Taylor and Reynolds eventually reconciled years later after they both remarried.
