    2022/12/14
    Elizabeth Taylor is predominantly known for two things – expensive jewellery and her marriages. But there’s so much more to her. She successfully made the leap from child star to movie icon. She was a double Oscar winner. And her tenacity meant that the public finally took notice of the HIV/AIDS crisis. Thank you for listening to this episode of HerStory!

    Episode 2: Marilyn Monroe
