Elizabeth Taylor's ability to psychologically function normally was probably taken away
the first time she appeared on screen, at the ripe age of ten. A normal childhood was taken
from her. By the time she was 15, she had been in 7 movies, and won the hearts of the entire US
in National Velvet. She became a child star. She wasn't the first actress in her family. Her
mother had been a successful stage actor before marrying Elizabeth's father. She was born in
England, and her family moved to Los Angeles when she was 7. A family friend made a
comment about Elizabeth going in for a screen test at Universal Studios. She was hired. She
became a working girl before she even entered the double digits.
Her mother constantly coached and encouraged her to seek out projects. One could say
she became obsessed with acting and pleasing all the adults in her life. While working on
National Velvet, she dieted and exercised for four months. This was at the age of 11. During
filming of the project, she suffered a broken back after being thrown from a horse. She forced
herself to finish the film even with her immense injury. As she grew into a young woman, she
was considered to be one of the most beautiful women in the world, even at such a young
age.
Elizabeth Taylor could be considered most infamous for her many marriages. She was
married 8 times, twice to the same man, Richard Burton. She married Burton for the first
time in 1964. They had carried on an affair during and after the filming of Cleopatra. Before
Taylor and Burton divorced their respective spouses and married, Taylor attempted suicide in
1962 because of the tangled relationships. But this was not the first sign of reckless behavior in
her life. She allegedly experi...

Cognitive or behavioral could have been taken into consideration, but considering her childhood,
or lack of one in mind, I think she is a classic example of psychological abnormalities
due to underlying problems that could date back to childhood. However, because she was a very
famous, important movie star, there is a chance she would not have been able to identify
any problems in herself. If she was using the rationalization defense mechanism, then she
wouldn't have seen any of her actions as wrong. Also, since psychodynamic therapies can take a
long time before the show results, she could have gotten frustrated with a lack of results and
stopped therapy. But I believe if she would have gone to therapy and been patient, it would
have been very effective.

As you and your family left the movie theater, you talked about how much you loved the film. Your daughter said that she wishes she could dance, sing, and act just like Shirley Temple. You too wish that you could give your daughter the chance to experience all the things Shirley Temple has, but you simply do not have the money. The movie took you out of the worries of everyday life for about two hours, but now it is back to reality. The transportation to another place was a great feeling. No other child star since Shirley Temple has had such talent, charisma, likability, or success both commercially and with box office success.
It is evident that Lisa is subjected to medication and hospitalization for her treatment. However, this method of treatment was not effective for her, because despite her being hospitalized for the last eight years; she still does not take her medicine. Since for those eight years no significant changes have been made following her diagnosis, another mode of treatment would be advisable. I would recommend the self-help strategies. Although many healthcare providers overlook this treatment method, it seems to be very

Audrey Hepburn was an amazing woman who’s unique personality and iconic style touched the hearts of people all over the world. She was a sensible, goofy, personable actress who had everything in her life that she could desire, and still put her time and effort into helping those around the world who weren’t as fortunate. "If there was a cross between the salt of the earth and a regal queen," Shirley MacLaine told People; that would be Audrey Hepburn. Many people only know her as the beautiful Holly Golightly who sat on a window sill and touched the hearts of the world with her song, but some others will always remember her best as the fairy godmother of their lives who’s deep soul committed to life stepped in to help them when their lives seemed at their darkest and no one else could.
