Elizabeth Taylor, whose acting talent and made-for-tabloids personal life combined to make her one of Hollywood’s most alluring and lasting figures, died Wednesday at age 79. Taylor’s publicist, Sally Morrison, confirmed that she died of congestive heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she had been hospitalized for six weeks.
Taylor’s four children, Michael and Christopher Wilding, Liza Todd and Maria Burton, were by her side at the end.
“My Mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love,” Michael Wilding said in a statement. “We know, quite simply, that the world is a better place for Mom having lived in it. Her legacy will never fade, her spirit will always be with us, and her love will live forever in our hearts.”
The ‘Cleopatra’ star was hospitalized last month for heart failure, and also underwent heart surgery in 2009.
