Elizabeth Taylor's stuff to be auctioned off

Apr 09, 2011

Want to own a piece of Cleopatra? You're in luck. Elizabeth Taylor's collection of art, bling, gowns and memorabilia will be sold by Christie's in a series of auctions, the company said in a press release on Saturday. Taylor died last month; the actress, dubbed the most beautiful woman in the world in her heyday, was known for her passionate relationships with men -- and jewels. She had eight husbands, including Richard Burton, U.S. Senator John Warnerand producer Mike Todd. And it was Burton who bought Taylor the 33.19-carat Asscher-cut Krupp Diamond in 1968.
