I take my hat off to Elizabeth for doing these interviews. She was wealthy and famous and did NOT have to say anything to anyone ever about herself. Many of these interviewers were quite rude and very intrusive. They kept bringing up the fact that she had been overweight and they kept using the word "alcoholic" trying to bait her or shame her. Elizabeth never lost her cool and handled them all well. I think Elizabeth simply wanted to help people with addictions and was brave enough to speak out. She also decided to use her celebrity to bring attention to the AIDS crisis. No celebrity would speak up and defend gay young men dying of that disease. Nobody cared. Elizabeth helped to change that and raise funds for AIDS research and charities. Again, this was a gutsy thing to do at that time. Elizabeth did NOT have to say or do anything, if she chose, for the rest of her life. However, she did act out of a kind and generous heart and wanted to help.

I absolutely loved Elizabeth Taylor, she had a fantastic personality and the most gorgeous eyes. I will really miss her.

her eyes are very expressive ,

Wow Elizabeth Taylor is the perfect woman. She has a good heart, she is strong, talented and beautiful.

Omg think to look like that at the age of 56! Well Elizabeth Taylor was the most beautiful, classy, kind woman until she died.

I just love her! She's a true gorgeous masterpiece!

I am a 33 yr. old male and sincerely believe that Elizabeth was the most beautiful celebrity to exist-EVER!!

One of a kind...classic , beautiful and sincere.

isn't elizabeth taylor simply astounding....?....no other actress, before her, or, after, can compete with her on any level, especially, on the 'human' level...she had such dignity, i think...gone, liz, but never forgotten :)

Don’t know how she kept her cool with that interviewer really ! I mean this is an absolute superstar!!!

Thank you for sharing this great interview with us all. I admire her honesty. :)

Way beyond her times! Far from perfect which makes her relatable on so many levels! One of many people I find inspired by. She clearly wasnt one to sugarcoat her addiction. Rather, she would correct you if you call it a hospital.. she'll call it a rehab! There's so much beauty and strength in owning our truth!!

i, personally, think she was at her physical peak, here. simply stunning and unique.

She looks absolutely stunning. I love her.

The interviewer is not even close to Elizabeth Taylors league. Yet she talks down to Elizabeth. Elizabeth Taylor is a woman who we will never see in any other woman again during our lifetime.

As of a child of alcoholic parents, this interview is very important to those who don't understand

This eyes is magical beautiful !

Rest in peace. Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor.

I agree! she is so beautiful here! I just love her!

I wonder what the interviewer wants her to say? Elizabeth is magical.

No one can match her charm and her class....

It doesn't matter if she's fat, old, or letting go, she was still beautiful inside and out no matter what. Her makeup in that interview was on point though.

The nuts interviewer interrupts and has no comprehension of addiction. Elizabeth looks so beautiful. She's so dignified, elegant, real. Her voice is so soft. She was so undefensive in her intervention. Elizabeth is wonderful.

Beautiful ,beautiful, beautiful.Love she so much.

Gorgeous woman...true legend...

So natural! Even the mole! Number 1 ! Elizabeth Taylor! RIP! You will be remembered!

She was as beautiful on the iside as she was on the outside. And that is a lot of beauty. RIP Elizabeth.

She was so stunning here and honest. She adored Richard you couldvsee it in her eyes and hear it in her voice. But remember Richard has been gone 27 years and her great sense of loss over the sudden death of MJ was the beginning of the end for Elizabeth. She is buried in a place fitting for the most beautiful women of the 20th century. Rest in the arms of your loves & all the angels. This video is special TY for posting this tribute.

Oooooo she is the most natural beautiful lady ever .....Liz for ever

Starting at 2:40 you can tell that Elizabeth is getting angry with that crazy woman.

Well worth a watch.....

She was absolutely stunning a truly beautiful woman.

her eyes are stunning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know I don't even know how old she was here but man is this woman beautiful...I I don't even want to use words we use now to describe beauty it's like her beauty is an absolute level that I believe new words should have been invented to describe this woman aesthetically.... When I first seen the movie last scene I was like 11 years old and first thing I did was fall in love with the girl and as I grew up in my twenties I realized it was Elizabeth Taylor and to this day I have not met or seen any other woman that is remotely as beautiful as this woman was...

Elizabeth Taylor saved my life I love her forever

Gorgeous & Smart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!T

A once in a lifetime goddess

MY GOD....SHE WAS INDEED BEAUTIFUL...

She was so beautiful. I remember in the sixties at the Oscars she was so beautiful it was hard to take your eyes off her! She truely was the most beautiful woman eyes ever have seen!

MN, as always, does a great job here. ET knows what she was in for. They are two intelligent women having an open and intelligent conversation. Interesting how many viewers find this concept difficult to deal with. Being Welsh, I also love her comments about Wales.

i was a fan of elezabeth taylor when iwas still youngi even had a scrapbook forher she was such a wonderfull woman with a big hearti itwas richard burton as her greates love bisde mike tod

Gene Kelly once said after seeing a bevy of gorgeous women at the studio that Elizabeth topped them all because she had natural beauty!

Ms Taylor has the most beautiful lipstick and it looks perfect for her.

I don't know the interviewers name, but you could tell she was wowed by Elizabeth Taylor's affinity for Wales.

Liz Taylor is greatly missed.

@Hi8380 She was British, but had dual citizenship.although she regarded herself as halve and half!

That second rate interviewer just poked and poked but Liz didn't take the bait. What a class act. And what an absolute stunner. Elizabeth Taylor was the most beautiful woman in the world. Maybe I'm partial!

Elizabeth, your spirit will always shine to the brightest star in Heaven. Your beauty will never disappear.! So proud of you for ,making making the decision for going to the Betty Ford Center to quit drinking and pills 💊! You no longer , having to worry about losing weight or being sick with congested heart failure, because you are pain free, being with Jesus, and the men you loved. You will always be a shining star with those beautiful violet 💜 eyes of your!! May you rest in peace 🙏.

Nobody else has ever been that candid about their experience with rehab.

She looks so beautiful.

I saw Elizabeth Taylor many years ago in person. I have never seen a more beautiful woman in my life.

quite a "vigorous",inquisition. I like Liz she was honest, and extremely good at her job, and all woman.( the shock on the interviewers face when she says she will be buried in Wales, haha touché)

One more time I see that programs that were created many years ago are still in place. This program that Elizabeth Taylor was referring to: Tough love, sounds very similar to the one use on: Intervention (close family members and friends gather around expressing their love for the person with the addiction problem, but drawing the line in what they will do or won't do for the person with the addiction problem) I love the fact that Elizabeth Taylor asked her kids for a couple of hours to make her own decision. As I read once last year; this kind of intervention might not be so effective if the person with the addiction problem does not go under his or her own will, but pressed by loved ones. Love the fact that it looks that she went to treatment under her own decision after all.

beautiful woman

Is it me, or is Mavis sort of 'rude' to Elizabeth?

Stunningly beautiful inside out ❤️

This women interviewing Liz does not do a good job.....Lacks empathy.....

WOW WOW WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111 From a mad keen 76yo Aussie fan. Mavis is only doing her job & finding the truths.

Elizabeth was buried in America at Forest Lawn in Los Angeles, not to be near Michael Jackson but because all of her four children live in the US and they wanted her near them.

Liz could be rude. She had relapsed privately and would soon be back in rehab.

Realmente ni hubo ni habrá una mujer con tan extraordinaria belleza

Mavis Nicholson was brilliant - she didn't grovel to the persons ego - perhaps these stars needed more of that in their lives; compassion but assertiveness.

I am reading the comments below, and I do agree that the woman interviewing Elizabeth is not warm or doesn't seem empathetic, but I do think it ends well, with Ms. Nicholson wishing her "a very happy new life, as the new Elizabeth Taylor". I am also a fan of Elizabeth's, she is an amazing actress, but she IS human and people seem to put her on a pedestal. By the way, my father was from Swansea in Wales. I'd been there as a child, and it is the most beautiful and breathtaking country!

She really is so beautiful 🤩 beautiful 👀 doesn’t need makeup she is a very lucky girl 👧 born beautiful 🤩 I think she looks like her father I saw her father in a picture and she does look like him

Yes Mavis Nichholson has stunning eyes

If you think Elizabeth Taylor was only famous for her pretty face you know nothing about acting.

honesty is fabulous. the "then and there" reaction at 2:56 is priceless!

Class Darling, class...

love Liz!

podrian subtitular este video porfavor se los pido

Decent interview love Mavis, she is talking about what Elisabeth wrote in her book, she’s deep & probing gets people to really talk about themselves, Elizabeth is wonderful here as you catch a sense of her vulnerability and humanity, you don’t get interviews such as this today look at some of her other interviews you will see she’s not a dragon she has a fabulous interview with Kenny Everett.

The interview per se was professional It was kind of like she was a therapist talk to a client Rather interesting and neither woman in awe of one another

Yes!

I wonder why Richard bought two plots, yet he was buried in Switzerland? This is confusing.

I think it's her tan and the film that makes her look yellow, not sever liver damage. Anyway, it's interesting she said she wanted to be buried in Wales, but this was over 20 years before she died. She is now buried in a tomb near her dear friend Michael Jackson.

Her skin is so beautiful

I miss her each day…..

We have the same birthday!

Elizabeth Still The Finest Ever!!You Are Missed Dearly!!

Richard's widow Sally chose to have him buried there I believe, this was noted in a biography of Elizabeth that is an excellent read. Perhaps due to jealously? We might never know. I think it's a shame when such wishes aren't honoured by family when a person dies, especially if there is any malice behind it that isn't thought about in hindsight.

Well done ladies.

I waited on her for a month in Chicago when she was doing "Private lives" in the early 80's and she was a mess but she was also fabulous so don't get me wrong but I saw it for my own eyes. Room service would bring up a huge silver tray with food and she said "put it on the floor for the bird" and the bird ate this expensive meal. I was amazed because I was hungry! Her last day she left for the Theater I organized a goodbye for her and all the doormen and bell boys gave her a rose and it was wonderful! On the street 30 fans clapped and shouted love to her. It was a moment.

I'm struggeling with alcoholism as well and I have been to rehab.

What a beautiful woman.

A very strong and calm interviewer with intelligent questions about alcoholism. And needed to handle Elizabeth who was also strong and quite dramatic and a bit maudlin in her emotions as those with addictions tend to be.

I don't like the interviewer. She seems very cold and asked the same questions. Elizabeth Taylor was a magnificent and beautiful woman/humanitarian and actress. She was the most beautiful actress I have ever seen.

well first of all most European interviewers are not impressed with American /Hollywood types as a rule..and secondly Elizabeth was not always as kind referring to Richard before his death..in interviews..so perhaps that was noted by someone who was also Welsh

Apparently: She was NOT buried in Wales (as she had mention that she requested in the interview), she was laid to rest by her family in Southern California.

❤Riposa in pace 🌹❤

Muy bonita su rostro fue y será un SOL 🌄🌳🌄 muy linda y caritativa con los hospitales y su amor por buscar la cura del SIDA.dobde estés ELIZABETH TAYLOR.descansa Paz 🌄🌳🌄

*Elizabeth Taylor is buried in Forest Lawn in Glendale CA so I don’t know what made her change her mind.* *It’s also where her good friend Michael Jackson is buried.*

Божественно красива' даже через тысячу лет не будет такой абсолютной красавицы

WAS SHE BURIED WARE SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT HERE? MISS YOU Elizabeth Taylor!

I wonder why she wasn't buried in Wales in the end

That's not an interview, but an interrogation or questioning.

I love ❤️ her style of clothes

I wonder when she changed her mind about being bored in Whales since she ended up in Glendale California.

Senza Richard che tristezza 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Who could resist those beautiful lips,,,, mannnn o man

She looks beautiful here! I never got into Elizabeth Taylor too much. Not a great actress... famous for the pretty face - but that's ok. I never got why Warren Beaty is so famous. Name me 5 great warren beaty movies.... but hollywood is glam. I get it... :)
