Elizabeth and Michael: The Queen of Hollywood and the King of Pop--A Love Story

By Donald Bogle

Book Overview

Discover the unique, profound, and unlikely yet enduring friendship between two of the most prominent and beloved celebrities of all time--Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson--in this "exhaustively researched...consistently absorbing" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) biography.

From the moment Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson met, they were fascinated by one another. He peered into her violet eyes and was transfixed; she, in turn, was dazzled by his talent, intrigued by his sweet-tempered personality, and moved by the stories she had already heard about his troubled early life. Soon a deep friendship blossomed, unlike anything either had ever experienced. Through their various emotional upheavals, the peaks and valleys of their careers, their personal traumas and heartaches, their countless health issues and extreme physical pain, and the glare of the often merciless public spotlight, their love for each other endured.

Award-winning biographer Donald Bogle skillfully re-creates the moving narrative of "these two forces of nature, and digs into the extraordinary histories that made them uniquely suited to understanding each other" (Alan Light, author of Let's Go Crazy). Through the recollections of friends and acquaintances of the two stars, as well as credited and anonymous sources, Elizabeth and Michael emerges as a tender, intimate look at this famous "odd couple"--and a treasure to their millions of fans.
