Transkript
00:00Testing.
00:02Do you have your freaking machine on?
00:07I'm fascinated by the phenomenon of Elizabeth Taylor.
00:12What do you think your image is?
00:16Completely superficial.
00:19Immoral.
00:22Just the person that my family know.
00:25And the other Elizabeth Taylor.
00:27The commodity.
00:31One is flesh and blood.
00:33And one is cellophane.
00:38I was a child actress.
00:40Thrown into the adult world.
00:43But in my own world, I was a terrified little girl.
00:47From an early age, your papa gave me two sides of a sex symbol.
00:51I never thought of myself that way.
00:54I loved the possibility of acting.
00:57I was told I would never become an actress
00:59because I was so concerned with being pretty.
01:03I fought against hostilities.
01:05Started to make my own deals.
01:08I was quite the businesswoman.
01:13I've been married too many times.
01:17I made horrendous mistakes.
01:20And I have paid for them.
01:23I don't like fame.
01:26I don't like belonging to the public.
01:30People have a set image.
01:31They want to believe.
01:35And if you try and explain,
01:38you lose yourself along the way.
01:45Would you like a drink, then?
