Elizabeth Taylor passed away on March 23, 2011 and Hollywood lost one of its most influential and talented stars. “Liz” was born on February 27, 1932 in London, England to American parents and she took dual-nationality from both countries: a two-time Oscar winner for Best Actress, she was also a Dame of the British Empire (DBE), though her later life was known more for her social and charitable work, particularly in promoting AIDS awareness.
