From 1952 until 1956, Elizabeth Taylor lived the dream that she had always wanted to live. She was a young wife and mother, living in her own home. Family certainly was very important to her and when she married Michael Wilding, she knew that the stability that she so desperately wanted, she finally had. She was a working actress, raising two small boys. Had Michael Wilding showed just a little more ambition towards his own life and career in America, things may have turned out differently for him and Elizabeth. As her career soared, he found it difficult to adapt to life in America, namely Hollywood. He had been a major matinee idol in England, and when he moved to America after Elizabeth signed her new MGM seven year contract in 1952, he never achieved the same recognition as he had had in England and soon wanted to go back to England, feeling unmotivated and disillusioned. Elizabeth tried to make the marriage work but she was destined for greater film roles, living an international lifestyle, making world headlines, becoming a billionaire in her own entrepreneurial enterprises and becoming one of the most lucrative fund raisers for AIDS, a disease that was (and is) devastating the world. But, in 1956....these things were yet to come. Michael slipped back to England while Elizabeth's star escalated beyond the Heavens. Please donate if you can, and help save a life or mend a life.
