What genetic condition did Elizabeth Taylor have?
Liz Taylor's head-turning looks may, at least partly, have been due to a rare genetic mutation that resulted in her having two rows of eyelashes on each eyelid rather than one. The technical term for this disorder is distichiasis.
Burton details his passion for Taylor, writing in November 1968 of how the actress, then one of the biggest stars in the world, had shaped him as a man. "I have been inordinately lucky all my life but the greatest luck of all has been Elizabeth," he wrote.
And, well, she must have loved playing that part, because Liz would infamously walk down the aisle eight times (to seven husbands, marrying Richard Burton twice) over the next 40 years. Her first wedding took place in 1950, at the age of 18, and she didn't stop until her last stint as bride in 1991, at the age of 59.

Taylor's twin-set of lashes are thought to be the result of a genetic mutation at the FOXC2 gene. (Funny that a woman most men would describe as "foxy" was possibly affected by the FOXC2 gene!) An extra row of eyelashes is known medically as distichiasis (pronounced dis-tic-key-i-asis) and it's a rare disorder.
Did Elizabeth Taylor go to Richard Burton's funeral?
The actor died from a brain haemorrhage in August 1984 in Geneva, Switzerland. Taylor was asked to stay away from the funeral because Burton's family feared her presence would create a media circus.
