Elizabeth Taylor, Forever On The Cover Of People Magazine
This November, Elizabeth Taylor once again graces the cover of People Magazine, accompanied by a feature that explores the remarkable life of a woman whose influence transcends generations. Fourteen years after her passing at the age of 79, Elizabeth remains as captivating and relevant as ever, serving as a touchstone for contemporary stars and an enduring source of inspiration for audiences around the world. Her story has been a part of a recent groundswell resulting from Taylor Swift’s song “Elizabeth Taylor,” track 2 on her latest album The Life of a Showgirl, proving that her legacy continues to captivate.
This latest issue marks the 19th time Elizabeth has appeared on the cover of People — more than any other movie star—from her first cover in 1947 to this landmark 2025 feature. Across six pages, the story reflects on her legendary life, including her passionate relationships with Mike Todd, Eddie Fisher, and Richard Burton, her unrivaled jewelry collection, her courageous recovery from alcohol and prescription drug addiction, her groundbreaking AIDS activism, and her unwavering commitment to living true to herself, without regrets. The spread also includes photographs of Elizabeth with each of her seven husbands and her children, images of select pieces from her jewelry collection, and outlines her connections to modern celebrities, including Taylor Swift, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Angelina Jolie, and Julianne Moore.
“She was never cowed by the establishment whenever it criticized or condemned her lifestyle, which was often,” Elizabeth’s son, Christopher Wilding, told People. “Believe it or not, she had a strong moral compass and she made her choices in alignment with it, even when she knew they might not be popular. She was curious, open-minded, and lived life on her own terms until the day she died.”
Beautiful, bold, and truly unforgettable, Elizabeth Taylor’s story continues to inspire, reminding a new generation that courage, passion, and authenticity are timeless. Read the full story in the November 3rd issue of People Magazine.
