This particular photo was a gift to producer Michael Todd who was her 3rd husband.
The pic was taken by one of her very dear friends Roddy McDowall who was also a renowned photographer & actor. It was given to Todd as a present after he proposed her in 1956. However, this marriage didn’t last that long. He was killed in a plane crash.
Elizabeth Taylor was 24 when this was taken & a private collector Jim Shaudis has released this pic immediately after her death. However, it was bought by him in 1980 & this was the only nude picture of Elizabeth Taylor that Jim wanted to share with his fans. Anyway, lots of other pics have been released but none is so revealing.
Yeah the question is: how did Jim get hold of the photo? Elizabeth Taylor was devastated after the death of Todd & she gave away this nude photo to her assistant & make up artist Penny Taylor.
Ever since her death, there have been claims & allegations from nearly every corner. This picture was believed to be lost but now it’s all over the net.
One of her last Twitter messages read simply: ‘I’ll let you know when it is all over. Love you, Elizabeth.’
I find it very strange how some people are taking advantage of everything after her death. Even that collector had to release the pic immediately after her death & it was low on the part of Penny Taylor to sell a nude photo. A journalist recently shared that story of James Dean molestation & that he revealed that secret to Elizabeth Taylor. Everyone seems to be quite opportunists. They can’t help cashing in.
