The papers of Elizabeth Jackson consist of correspondence, legal documents, a deed, receipts, credit notes, title bonds, land surveys, a scrapbook, and invitations. The correspondence is both to and from Nathaniel Taylor Jackson, his wife Lizzie J. Jackson, James Henry, and Lizzie{u2019}s father, John F. Henry, all based in Tennessee. The correspondence is largely composed of love letters between Lizzie Jackson in Louisville, Tenn., and her husband N. T. Jackson in Jonesboro, Tenn., as well as Lizzie{u2019}s letters to her family documenting daily affairs. The papers also document the business of Samuel Henry and son, both in Philadelphia and Baltimore. Additionally the papers include a speech by Nathaniel T.

Elizabeth Taylor is known internationally as one of the most beautiful and talented women ever to grace the silver screen. She has won two Academy Awards and starred in over sixty films. She is just as well known for her tempestuous personal life, marrying eight times and suffering through innumerable health problems. A cultural icon, she has been written about before . . . but never like this. This moving book traces for the first time Elizabeth's journey through the dark and often lonely world of a fame unparalleled in the 1960s and 1970s, a time during which alcohol and drugs played a major part in her life. It would be with her fifth (and sixth) husband Richard Burton (with whom she made twelve movies, including Cleopatra) that she would learn life lessons about love and loyalty that would inform the rest of her life and, finally, be the catalyst for her recovery from alcoholism in the 1980s. This book also details her philanthropic work as an AIDS activist in the 1990s as well as her stunning success as a business woman today (with a multi-million-dollar fragrance). Based on years of research, this is not just a star's biography . . . it's an unforgettable woman's story.
