Born in 1932 and departing in 2011, Elizabeth Taylor lived a life so thoroughly witnessed that her image became synonymous with Hollywood itself. From a twelve-year-old riding to fame in 'National Velvet' to a humanitarian elder stateswoman fighting AIDS, she inhabited each decade with a force that transcended any single role. The New York Daily News archive, rich with photographs spanning seven decades, offers not merely a celebrity retrospective but a meditation on how a human life can become a shared cultural inheritance.
