Elizabeth Taylor's Legacy: A Feminist Debate in Hollywood

A new three-part documentary about Elizabeth Taylor, executive produced by Kim Kardashian, has emerged alongside another documentary, highlighting the actress's life and career. The series features a variety of notable figures, including family members, friends, and fellow actors, who share insights into Taylor's experiences in Hollywood. While the documentary touches on her struggles with addiction and her tumultuous relationships, it primarily aims to portray her as a feminist icon. Critics question whether this portrayal is accurate, given the complexities of her life and the impact of the studio system on her career. Joan Collins, a prominent figure in the documentary, provides candid reflections on Taylor's relationships and the consequences of her actions, suggesting that the narrative may overlook some of the more problematic aspects of her legacy. The documentary ultimately raises questions about the nature of celebrity and the challenges faced by women in the entertainment industry during Taylor's era.
