Dame Elizabeth Rosemond "Liz" Taylor, DBE (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was a British-American actress. From her early years as a child star with MGM, she became one of the great screen actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age. As one of the world's most famous film stars, Taylor was recognized for her acting ability and for her glamorous lifestyle, beauty and distinctive violet eyes.
National Velvet (1944) was Taylor's first success, and she starred in Father of the Bride (1950), A Place in the Sun (1951), Giant (1956), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), and Suddenly, Last Summer (1959). She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for BUtterfield 8 (1960), played the title role in Cleopatra (1963), and married her co-star Richard Burton. They appeared together in 11 films, including Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), for which Taylor won a second Academy Award. From the mid-1970s, she appeared less frequently in film, and made occasional appearances in television and theatre.
Her much publicized personal life included eight marriages and several life-threatening illnesses. From the mid-1980s, Taylor championed HIV and AIDS programs; she co-founded the American Foundation for AIDS Research in 1985, and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in 1993. She received the Presidential Citizens Medal, the Legion of Honour, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award and a Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute, who named her seventh on their list of the "Greatest American Screen Legends". Taylor died of congestive heart failure in March 2011 at the age of 79, having suffered many years of ill health.

Plot: In the midst of 80's power suits and Reaganomics, a young Byron Krueger rose to fame as the poster child for Neon Pops. He was the cutest kid to sell the sweetest (albeit potentially toxic) treats to throngs of future yuppies. Of course fame and fortune didn't favor young Byron for very long and he began a slow downward spiral. As a washed up child star, Byron had very few options. Hungry television viewers could care less about his weight gain, growth of body hair, and vulgar habits, and he almost felt like dying. Except, he WAS a star. And maybe, just maybe, he could BE a star again. Many years after the Neon Pops radioactive scare that sent anything associated with it into hiding, Byron Krueger re-emerged into public view. He fumbled his way into a historic old theater company in the art district of Milwaukee. He'd heard rumors that some local guy in the 80's named Jeff played Sweeny Todd and the show cancelled after one night. Logically in Byron's mind, he could only improve that situation. When he arrived at the theater company, hoping to impress everyone with his chops, he was amazed to find something slightly less than professional. Becoming part of the JD Memorial Theater Company introduced a world filled with mental instability, conspiracy, anarchy, and the tragic auto-erotic asphyxiation of a beloved director, father and friend.
