In 1942, bright-eyed and London-bornElizabeth Taylormade her Hollywood debut in the filmOne Born Every Minute.
She was a near-instant success an incredible feat for a 10-year-old.
Beyond having a long and fulfilling career, Taylor led apersonal lifethat some would dub “scandalous.”
With one sordid affair and a whoppingseven marriages, Taylor could’ve written the book on romance.
Her grandchildren, however, number into the double digits.

Laela recounted memories of her grandmother cutting her hair: “She was very artistic.
She had a great eye,” Laela explained.
She also enjoyed helping with makeup (smoky eye was key) and styling.
Not your typical grandmotherly advice, but, then again,Elizabeth Taylorwas not your typical grandmother.
Despite being just four years apart in age, they had different relationships with Taylor.
After her Manhattan apartment was burglarized, Taylor stepped in to help her second-born granddaughter.
For nearly two years, she resided with her grandmother and called the experience “amazing.”
Like her big sis, Naomi is also an ambassador for the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
Like Taylor, Naomi has grown up to be a true success.
She decided to name her little girl Elizabeth Carson.
Sometimes they’d even travel together.
“She always stood up for what was right,” said Taylor’s third-born granddaughter.
Eliza has copied her grandmother in that aspect too.
“I work for the Department of Child Protection in Manhattan.
I’m doing social work,” she explained.
Like her older cousins, she, too, is an ambassador for the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
Caleb was adopted by Christopher Wilding and his wife Aileen Getty after Getty had several unsuccessful pregnancies.
“It was traumatic because I really wanted a child,” she toldPeople.
She took Caleb and Andrew and fled to New York City where she binged on cocaine.
“I just lost it,” the mother of two admitted.
For a time, Caleb and Andrew were removed from her custody.
“My children are my lifeline.
But they deserved better,” Getty toldPeople.
Andrew has even taken to Hollywood much like his grandmother as acinematographer.
Quinn Tivey: is he “raunchy” like his grandmother?
After his beloved grandmother’s death, he and his cousin participated in an event in her honor.
It was there that Quinn knew he wanted to be more involved in the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
That’s not all Tarquin has in common with his family members, though.
Similar to Andrew Wilding’s career as a cinematographer, Tarquin grew up to embraceHollywood.
At just 28 years old, he’s already working as a filmmaker.
Tarquin is also close with his large family and reminisces fondly about his grandmother.
Surely, Taylor would feel equally grateful for her amazing grandchildren.
It’s obvious that Lowell’s love and appreciation for his grandmother runs deep.
“She could so easily have done nothing, like so many others.
Lowell said his hope is to continue her legacy, as well as preserve it.
He has since backed up his words with actions.
What a beautiful tribute to his late grandmother.
Lowell, not unlike many of his relatives, lives in Los Angeles.
These days, he is a triple threat: a trumpeter, vocalist, and a songwriter.
“I ended up homeless,” he explained.
No news is good news, right?
