Kim Kardashian to produce Elizabeth Taylor docuseries
Kim Kardashian is a big fan of the famous British-American actress Elizabeth Taylor, so she decided to embark on a project all about her.
The socialite and businesswoman was confirmed, via a statement from BBC Arts, as the producer of a new docuseries about Taylor, who was a Hollywood legend.
The BBC production will be called "Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar" and will consist of three parts. It will look at the life and career of one of the last stars of the golden age of classical Hollywood.
"Elizabeth Taylor was unapologetically herself, a fighter. She is proof that you can keep evolving and changing and have different chapters in your life. And she paved the way for all of us who came after her with that blueprint," Kardashian said in a statement.

BBC Arts said the docuseries will give the actress the prominence she deserves and show all her facets, like "how she reinvented the nature of fame, even as she smashed the glass ceiling in Hollywood, before going on to become a billion-dollar businesswoman, activist and advocate" they said.
In addition, it was indicated that 'Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar' will feature privileged access to those who knew her best, including family members, friends and colleagues of the actress.
In fact, according to InStyle, the production will interview her friend Dame Joan Collins, with whom she competed for the role of Cleopatra; Margaret O'Brien, one of her schoolmates at the MGM studio; her best friend Carole Bayer Sager; and Dr Anthony Fauci, with whom she worked on her fight against AIDS.
It is also important to note that Kardashian will appear in the series herself. She was the last person to interview Taylor before she died of congestive heart failure at the age of 79 on 23 March 2011.
Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, born in 1932 in London, England, was the youngest child of Americans living in England. The family later moved to Los Angeles, California, due to World War II.
Taylor made her acting debut at the age of 10 in the film 'There's One Born Every Minute' (1942), but it was 'National Velvet' (1944, photo), the film that would make her a star.

She went on to make films such as 'Little Women' (1949), 'Giant' (1956) and 'Raintree County' (1957), the latter earning her first Oscar nomination. 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' (1958) gave her a second Academy Award nomination.
His third Oscar nomination came for her work in 'Suddenly, Last Summer' (1959), but it was not until her fourth Oscar nomination that she won the golden statuette for the film 'Butterfield 8' (1960).
Taylor went on to film 'Cleopatra' (1963) and then her second Oscar came for her work in 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' (1966).
It must be said that Taylor shone not only for her talent, but also for her beauty and personality.
Her private life also attracted a lot of attention, especially her multiple marriages, as she was married to Larry Fortensky, John Warner, Richard Burton (photo), Eddie Fisher, Mike Todd, Michael Wilding and Conrad Hilton Jr.
Her activist side also makes her fondly remembered, as she was an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and founded the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.
No doubt this is a big project in the hands of Kardashian, who, like Taylor, has made an impact in the current era with her talent, beauty and personality.
