Elizabeth Taylor’s Grandson Grew Up To Be Very Handsome – And He Looks Eerily Like The Late Star

Elizabeth Taylor was one of the most famous actresses of her era, and her private life always drew plenty of comment. She ended up being married eight times, including two failed marriages with the same man, Richard Burton. And some of those relationships resulted in children, and later grandchildren. One of these offspring in particular looks a lot like Taylor—almost uncannily so.

Eighth Time's The Charm

Taylor’s eight marriages became legendary, but a lot of them weren’t happy relationships. Taylor grew up in a strict household, and she believed marriage was a ticket out of there. There was a lot of interest in her. After a failed engagement to William Pawley Jr., she married Hilton Hotels heir Conrad ‘Nicky’ Hilton Jr. in 1950. But behind closed doors, things weren't so pretty.

Husband Number 1

At the time of the wedding, Taylor was a mere 18 years old. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), the studio to which she was signed, helped turn the ceremony into a massive media circus. If Taylor had wanted to back out, there was virtually no chance of doing so. And only a few weeks into that first marriage, things started to turn sour.

Things Go South

Taylor claimed that Hilton was abusive and an alcoholic. Just eight months after the wedding, the woman who had briefly been Elizabeth Hilton requested a divorce and got it. At a Santa Monica courthouse she told the press that her husband had been “indifferent” to her and had “used abusive language.”

Husband Number 2

The next husband for Taylor was a man from her own walk of life, a British actor named Michael Wilding. He was 20 years older than her, but Taylor claimed to find that a plus rather than a minus. There was a small wedding this time, a quiet ceremony at a London hall in February 1952. And after that two children followed.
