Elizabeth Taylor: England's Other Elizabeth

A profile of the double Oscar-winner filmed around the time of her visit to Britain in 2000, when she received a damehood from the Queen. The actress recalls her early days as a child star in Lassie Come Home and National Velvet, and discusses working with the cream of Hollywood talent in the 1950s and '60s - including Richard Burton, whom she married twice. With contributions by Shirley MacLaine, Rod Steiger and Angela Lansbury

Elizabeth Taylor: England's Other Elizabeth airs on BBC Four at 8:00 PM, Thursday 3 October. (Subtitles.)
