Nude Elizabeth Taylor at 24 (RIP)

A private collector has released the only known picture of the star, then aged 24, posing nude. It is understood to be the first time the photo has been shown publicly. Elizabeth died last week from congestive heart failure. She won 2 Oscars and was the epitome of Hollywood and American glamour.

Her son Michael Wilding states, "Though her loss is devastating to those of us who held her so close and so dear, we will always be inspired by her enduring contribution to our world. Her remarkable body of work in film, her ongoing success as a businesswoman, and her brave and relentless advocacy in the fight against HIV/AIDS, all make us all incredibly proud of what she accomplished. We know, quite simply, that the world is a better place for Mom having lived in it. Her legacy will never fade, her spirit will always be with us, and her love will live forever in our hearts."
