Cover story: "Liz Taylor's Next Role: Senator's Wife?". Taylor was indeed a senator's wife from 1979, when Warner was elected U. S. Senator from Virginia, until 1982, when she and Warner divorced. Already a striking beauty by age ten, violet-eyed child star TAYLOR (1932-2011), born in Hampstead, London, England,who made her film debut in 1942, grew up to play sizzling adult roles on screen. Married to Nick Hilton, Michael Wilding, Mike Todd, Eddie Fisher, Richard Burton (twice), John Warner and Larry Fortensky, Taylor won Academy Awards for Best Actress for Butterfield 8 (1960) and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966). The first actress to earn $1 million for a motion picture (Cleopatra, 1963), Taylor was also nominated for Best Actress Oscars in 1957 (Raintree County), 1958 (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) and 1959 (Suddenly, Last Summer). Named a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II on December 31, 1999, Taylor was also a John F. Kennedy Center Honoree in 2002. Despite debilitating health problems, she is also known for her tireless efforts to raise funds for AIDS charities. This loan was obtained at a difficult time in Taylor's life. Although she had been Tony-nominated for her part in The Little Foxes in 1981 and would soon co-star with former husband Richard Burton in a stage revival of Private Lives, she divorced husband and U. S. Senator John Warner in November of 1982. In 1983, she checked herself into the Betty Ford clinic to combat alcohol and painkiller addiction. WARNER, born John William Warner in Washington, D. C. in 1927, was Under Secretary (1969-72) and then Secretary of the Navy (1972-74) under President Richard M. Nixon and an administrator for the American Revolution Bicentennial Adminstration (1974-6) before being elected a Republican Senator from Virginia (1979-2009).
