"I was taught by my parents that if you fall in love, if you want to have a love affair, you get married," Taylor once said. "I guess I'm very old-fashioned."
Perhaps the only thing Elizabeth Taylor was better known for than those stunning violet eyes was her colorful love life. The beauty married eight times in 40 years (twice to the same man) and made headlines for some of her more scandalous couplings. Here's a look back at the legend's many romances.
Taylor's survivors include daughters Maria Burton-Carson and Liza Todd-Tivey, sons Christopher and Michael Wilding, 10 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. A private family funeral is planned later this week.
