What is Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar about?
The documentary series Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar explores both her on-screen success as an actress and her off-screen groundbreaking ventures. The series avoids the traditionally sensationalized approach towards the life of the actress, such as her eight husbands, famous diamonds, and excessive publicity, and instead explores her relevance as a trailblazer within Hollywood and beyond.
The initial episode opens with the meteoric rise of Taylor during Hollywood's Golden Age, but reveals how studios themselves dominated her public as well as private life initially. Her life took a turbulent turn after a rough first marriage, but the trajectory maps out her determination to do things on her own terms and rechart her professional life.
In the series, audiences will have unique insights in the form of unheard tapes, statements from close family and friends, and unseen archive footage that traces her development as a corporate woman who created a billion-dollar empire.
Central to the series is the trailblazing celebrity activism of Taylor. Her public activism in the struggle with HIV/AIDS opened up new opportunities and redefined the standards with which Hollywood confronted social issues. This facet of her legacy is borne out by the series drawing on voices such as Sharon Stone and Dame Joan Collins, which places the activism of Taylor firmly in a cultural context again and again.
The documentary also features an interview with her son Chris Wilding, thus providing fans with a new insight into her conflicted personality.
