Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor (February 27, 1932-March 23, 2011) was an English-American actress, businesswoman and humanitarian. She began her career as a child actress in the early 1940s, and was one of the most popular stars of classical Hollywood cinema in the 1950s. She continued her career successfully into the 1960s and remained a well-known public figure for the rest of her life. In 1999, the American Film Institute named her the seventh-greatest female screen legend of all time.
Photoplay was one of the first American film fan magazines. It was founded in 1911 in Chicago, the same year that Motion Picture Story, a magazine also directed at fans, began. In 1921 Photoplay established what is considered the first significant annual movie award. The magazine ceased publication in 1980.
