Elizabeth Taylor's History with Mexico

Elizabeth Taylor loved many things in her full life (1932-2011), including men, diamonds and Mexico. She fell in love with Mexico as much for its tropical climate as for the escape it provided her from Hollywood. She got married in Acapulco, filmed in Cuernavaca and had a home with Richard Burton in Puerto Vallarta.

As a matter of fact, Elizabeth Taylor helped put Mexico (and most specifically, Puerto Vallarta) on the map as a tourist destination. So we decided to honor the death of iconic Ms. Elizabeth Taylor with a look at the memories she made during her many trips south of the border:

The simple ceremony was attended by (from left) Enrique Parra, Debbie Reynolds, Mike Todd, Jr., Eddie Fisher and Mario 'Cantinflas' Moreno. This was the only one of Taylor's eight marriages to not end in divorce. Todd was killed when his private plane Lucky Liz crashed in New Mexico on March 22, 1958.
