The lovely Elizabeth Taylor was not only one of the most famous actors to ever walk this planet, but she was also a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.
The actress Cleopatra was married eight times during her life, to seven different people.
She and Richard Burton were married twice.
Although her love life was considered scandalous, she managed to have four children through her marriages, including Marie Burton, Chris Wilding, Michael Wilding Jr., and Liza Todd, as well as ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Her grandchildren mostly resemble their famous grandmother. They are happy to have inherited some of their grandmother’s beauty, which has been called timeless over the years.
Six weeks after being admitted for congestive heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, Taylor died suddenly in 2011.
Look what her grandchildren are doing now.
Elizabeth’s first child, Michael Wilding Jr., is the mother of Laela Wilding. She is a graphic designer and yoga instructor who lives and works in Portland, Oregon.
Laela always shows great love when she thinks of her grandmother. In 2021, Laela described Taylor as “that person who saw injustice and started talking about it and never stopped talking about it.”
Laela noted that her grandmother was a natural at cutting her grandchildren’s hair and that she enjoyed doing it. She looked sideways at you and said, “Oh, honey, bring me the scissors,” And she started by making a small cut here and there. She was a talented artist. She had a great eye.
Laela is often compared to the actress and many people agree.
Naomi deLuce Wilding, Laela’s sister, was born in 1976 and is five years younger. Natali currently works at Wilding Cran Gallery in Los Angeles, which Naomi and her husband Anthony Gran founded in 2014.
Naomi told her grandmother that “she has this idea that she’s responsible for bringing up the younger generations in the family, you know.” “It was important for her to instill those values ​​in us as well.”
“I remember watching her get ready while sitting on her dressing room floor and witnessing such a change happen. According to Naomi, “Just because someone is a superstar doesn’t mean they can’t still be loving, a squishy, ​​delicious grandma who always greeted us.
Taylor’s first grandchild, Caleb Wilding, was adopted by her son Chris and his wife Aileen Getty after several failed pregnancies. Despite coming from a famous family, Caleb prefers to avoid the limelight. He is a motorcycle lover, which is all that is known about him.
Taylor’s second grandchild, Andrew Wilding, was born in 1984. Unlike his brother Caleb, Andrew pursued a career in the entertainment industry, following in his grandmother’s footsteps.
Born in 1989, Laela and Naomi’s half-brother, Tarquin Wilding, works in the entertainment industry. Tarquin is best known for his work in Silent But Deadly (2012), Shameless (2011), and In Between (2009).
He identifies as an aspiring filmmaker who likes dogs and motorcycles. Tarquin works with the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, as do many of Elizabeth Taylor’s grandchildren.
“My grandma was a total badass! She is so generous and has such unwavering courage and I can’t help but be impressed by her. I want to carry on her legacy, contribute to the fight for an AIDS-free generation, and ensure a better future for people living with HIV /AIDS.
The second child of Christopher Wilding and Margaret Carlton is Lowell Wilding. His current project is the Elizabeth Taylor Archive and he was born in 1991.
“I’ve always been absolutely amazed at the amazing things my grandmother accomplished in her lifetime. She had the opportunity to do nothing, like so many others. Instead, she campaigned for those who were HIV/AIDS positive and tried to help them. I want to do everything I can what I can do to maintain this legacy and move on,” he stated.
Liza Tivey’s son is Quinn. In addition to his BA in Film from the University of Southern California, he earned an MFA from the School of Visual Arts.
In 2019, he reportedly remarked of Taylor, “I always knew her as grandma, but in her real life she was still larger than life.” “She was a wonderful matriarch.
Quinn recalled in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter how she and her girlfriend “would be in bed together, watching movies, talking — she would give me advice.” These are some of the ways it stands out in my mind. Quinn said.
Rhys Tivey is Taylor’s ninth grandchild. He currently plays the trumpet and sings and writes songs.
“My grandmother would treat everyone she met with the utmost respect and honor their souls regardless of their race, ethnicity, or social class. But she was never afraid to point out BS when she noticed it. Her legacy in the fight against HIV / AIDS is the epitome of her humanitarian passion. It is truly admirable to achieve the authority and success she has achieved while maintaining a genuine concern for the well-being of others. The support she has offered to me and so many others motivates me every day, says Rhys.
The daughter of Elizabeth Carson’s adopted daughter, Maria Burton, rather than Taylor’s true granddaughter, Elizabeth Carson.
She did my hair and makeup for both my junior and senior proms, Elizabeth told Town & Country. I once suggested we visit Sephora when we were talking about makeup, which turned out to be a disastrous idea. We had a good time for the first fifteen minutes, but when they recognized her, we had to leave immediately.
