Home of the legendary star Elizabeth Taylor was a four-bedroom house on a secluded, wooded acre in Bel Air, California. Elizabeth purchased the property in the early 1980s and refined it with the help of interior designer and close friend Waldo Fernandez. What they created was a world away from the actress’s previous homes: a Virginia farm and Georgetown townhouse she shared with her sixth husband, Senator John Warner.
Though its walls displayed Impressionist paintings and its gardens were lush with roses, the residence was about family and fun, not fame and flashbulbs. Children and grandchildren were given the run of the house, as was a succession of dogs, cats, and birds. In recent years nearly every room was awash in blues and lavenders, shades echoing Taylor’s famous violet eyes. And if that chromatic scheme wasn’t in fashion, well, so be it. Elizabeth Taylor’s private world reflected no one better than the woman who lived there—authentic, unapologetic, and full of passion.
