The well-known actress died on March 23, 2011, in California due to heart failure.
Elizabeth Taylor was undoubtedly one of the great landmarks of Hollywood. Her flawless career in the world of cinema made her one of the best-known characters of the fifties. Perhaps her most remembered work is that of Cleopatra, although she has also starred in well-known works such as A Place in the Sun, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, or Suddenly, Last Summer, among many others.
Her role on the big screen was not the only thing that pushed her to her success and it is that, in addition to being one of the best-known actresses in Hollywood for her film work, she was also one of the best-known actresses for her beauty. A beauty that was marked by a large genetic mutation that made her have a dazzling violet look.
The well-known interpreter was born with a rare mutation in the FOXC2 gene, something that gave her a double row of eyelashes, called supernumerary eyelashes. This anomaly is usually associated with congenital heart problems, so it can be said that it is like a "poisoned gift" since, despite giving him a penetrating look, it caused him other collateral damage.
These double lashes made her eye color stand out even more. Her gaze was such a deep blue that it gave the impression of being violet depending on the ambient light. This tone has only ever occurred in albino people, so seeing that it could also occur in people with brown hair caused a great uproar in society at that time.
According to Live Science, Liz Taylor's eyes had a very specific and rare amount of melanin. Even though over the years many have questioned whether the actress really had that tone in her eyes, the experts of the aforementioned medium have confirmed that it is possible since everything depends on the amount of melanin that creates each person Of course, light, and makeup is also important when it comes to perceiving color in one way or another. That's why Liz Taylor used to frequently wear blue or purple eyeshadow, which guaranteed a great contrast with her look.
This Thursday marks twelve years since her death. She passed away on March 23, 2011, at the age of 79, the victim of heart failure. Her health has always been extremely fragile due to diseases that she has had to deal with throughout her life, such as osteoporosis or a brain tumor. On the other hand, her consumption of alcohol and tobacco also brought her the odd problem with certain respiratory diseases. In addition to having achieved overwhelming success during her career due to her work as an interpreter, her sentimental life also placed her at the forefront of the media.
She went up the altar 8 times with 7 different husbands, among which names of well-known men such as Eddie Fisher, Richard Burton, or Larry Fortensky stand out. Although she passed away in 2011, it was in 1994 that she starred in her last film. Although she decided to move away from her spotlight in recent years, she was always present in the social chronicle through her dedication, commitment, and activism with humanitarian causes and solidarity work.
