Liz & Mike Footage

"When Mike gave me the rubies I was pregnant with Liza. We had rented a villa, La Fiorentina, just outside Monte Carlo near St.-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, about 3 months into our marriage. The most beautiful house you've ever seen. Actually, I rented it twice - once with Mike and once with Richard. I was in the pool, swimming laps at our home, and Mike came outside to keep me company. I got out of the pool and put my arms around him, and he said, "Wait a minute, don't joggle your tiara." Because I was wearing my tiara in the pool! He was holding a red leather box, and inside was a ruby necklace, which glittered in the warm light. It was like the sun, lit up and made of red fire. First, Mike put it around my neck and smiled. Then he bent down and put matching earrings on me. Next came the bracelet. Since there was no mirror around, I had to look into the water. The jewelry was so glorious, rippling red on blue like a painting. I just shrieked with joy, put my arms around Mike's neck, and pulled him into the pool after me.
It was a perfect summer day and a day of perfect love." (Elizabeth Taylor)

Never-before-seen footage of a jubilant Elizabeth Taylor trying on the ruby-and-diamond jewelry from her husband at Villa Fiorentina. The home-movie shutterbug was Eve Johnson, wife of actor Van Johnson.

E.T. is one of a handful of elite Hollywood  women who wear jewels, anytime . . any day , everywhere. Her OWN jewels, REAL jewels. NEVER BORROWED.

its funny to see husband no.4 eddie lurking in the background

[Sans Soucci]

Something I've NEVER understood, ALL the money they make, and they have to borrow jewels, ALL except E.T, and maybe a few others. Why is this? She was one one of the few, the VERY few.
