00:30She sits at number seven on the American Film Institute's list of greatest female stars.

00:36More importantly, she is the only surviving member of the top ten,

00:39earning her the title of Hollywood's last great star.

00:44She certainly leapt out of the blocks.

00:46Born in the London suburb of Hampstead in 1932,

00:49she hit the big screen at the age of nine in the family tearjerker, Lassie Come Home.

00:55Two years later, she wrote a winner called National Velvet,

00:58and became a household name.

01:00She grew up in the public eye,

01:02maturing to a breathtakingly stunning young woman,

01:04who had famous photographers proclaiming her perfect.

01:08Whether or not her eyes were indeed violet, as she liked to claim,

01:11she was a cinematographer's dream.

01:13And on top of that, she had talent.

01:15After three consecutive Oscar nominations,

01:18she finally took home the leading actress award for Butterfield 8.

01:22Liz went on to win a second Oscar for her less than glamorous portrayal of Martha

01:26in the big screen version of Edward Albee's play,

01:28Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

01:31Married twice by the age of 20,

01:33she was on her way to a third husband, Mike Todd, by the time she was 25.

01:37Playing the dutiful wife to the famous producer,

01:39she even threatened to give up her career for him.

01:49But she was never forced to follow through.

01:51As weeks after the interview,

01:52Mike was killed when his private plane, Lucky Liz,

01:55crashed in New Mexico.

01:58Elizabeth then sought solace in the arms of singer-actor Eddie Fisher,

02:02who was married to Debbie Reynolds at the time.

02:05Five years after marrying Fisher,

02:06she met Richard Burton on the set of Cleopatra,

02:09and their tumultuous marriage went on to last 10 years.

02:13In 1974, they divorced,

02:14then remarried the following year,

02:16in time to divorce again in 76.

02:21The same year, she set her sights on senatorial hopeful, John Warner.

02:27The Republican saw his popularity soar as a result of the union.

02:34Quite a change of pace.

02:35Queen of the May, rather than Queen of Hollywood, I guess.

02:38You enjoying it?

02:39Well, it's not May yet, is it?

02:40No, but are you enjoying this new life?

02:43Yes, I am.

02:44The shine had worn off by 1982,

02:47and she didn't dip her toe in the matrimonial waters again

02:50until meeting recovering alcoholic handyman, Larry Fortemsky,

03:03which has raised tens of millions of dollars

03:06in the fight against the disease.

03:09She's also been a loyal supporter of Michael Jackson,

03:12championing her good friend in interviews

03:14and protesting his innocence on charges of child molestation.

03:18Defying rumors of developing Alzheimer's disease,

03:21Liz showed up at her 75th birthday bash in Las Vegas

03:24to be greeted by glowing tributes from her celebrity guests.

03:28Happy birthday, dear Elizabeth.

03:45in such a powerful way.

03:47And I love the fact that she takes action,

03:52and she's so committed,

03:54and she's got such a tremendous heart.
