The extraordinary life of Elizabeth Taylor was, of course, dominated by a legendary movie career that brought her enormous fame at a very young age.
She won Oscars and made classic films that we will love forever. But it was her second act that I believe is her greatest legacy. She was in her early 50s when she became an AIDS activist (co-founder of AmFAR) and it was her most important role for the rest of her life.
Here are some videos of Miss Taylor at some major events over the years where she spoke about AIDS, about LGBT equality and about her activism.
