Elizabeth Taylor
There is Nothing Like a Dame
Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince
A comprehensive overview of scandals associated with Taylor’s career in show biz has never been told. Here it is at last. It follows the award-winning formula that Blood moon applied to The Kennedys and Frank Sinatra, and to many other key players from the worlds of entertainment and politics.
Before she died, Elizabeth Taylor claimed that previous biographers had revealed “only half of my story, but I can’t tell the other half because I’d get sued.” In response to that challenge, Blood Moon presents history’s most comprehensive compilation of the unpublished—until now—secrets of Dame Elizabeth. With photos, this meaty and startling newest installment of Blood Moon’s Babylon series offers a juicy feast of till-now untold tales about the 20th century’s most headline-generating actress, relayed with empathy and brutal candor.

How Liz Taylor Bedded TinseltownAbout the Author:
“Darwin Porter is the master of guilty pleasures. There is nothing like reading him for passing the hours. He is the Nietzsche of Naughtiness, the Goethe of Gossip, the Proust of Pop Culture. Porter knows all the nasty buzz anyone has ever heard whispered in dark bars, dim alleys, and confessional booths. And lovingly, precisely, and in as straightforward a manner as an oncoming train, his prose whacks you between the eyes with the greatest gossip since Kenneth Anger. Some would say better than Anger.” (as quoted from Alan W. Petrucelli’s THE ENTERTAINMENT REPORT at Examiner.com).
Porter began his career writing about politics and the entertainment industry for Knight Newspapers and The Miami Herald. Today, he’s one of the most prolific biographers in the world. His portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, J. Edgar Hoover, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Howard Hughes, John and Jackie Kennedy, Paul Newman, Merv Griffin, Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, and Michael Jackson have generated widespread reviews and animated radio and blogsite commentaries worldwide. Some of his biographies have been serialized to millions of readers in The Sunday Times of London and The Mail on Sunday.
Porter is also the well-known original author of many editions of The Frommer Guides, a respected travel guidebook series that’s among the most prominent and well-respected in the world.
