Jackie-Kennedy-vs-Liz-Taylor
Who is most hated by Jackie Kennedy after Marilyn Monroe? The answer is Elizabeth Taylor. Late actress Elizabeth Taylor had invited a jealous wrath of Jackie Kennedy, who ­accused her of having an affair with her husband and the then US president John F. Kennedy. The astonishing details of their bitter feud have been revealed in Taylor's private ­diaries, which she maintained since childhood days.

"When they are edited and ­published, as she requested, they will amaze fans and historians," express.co.uk quoted one of the late screen icon's closest friends as saying.

A number of entries, at the time Kennedy was planning his 1960 presidential ­campaign, refer to several private meetings with "Jack" at his bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

"She was married to Eddie Fisher, her fourth husband, at the time. And she was thrilled to be invited to meet Kennedy during one of his campaign fund-raising visits to ­California," said the friend.

Both of them hit off so well that John had invited her to see him a number of times, however, Taylor had a tough time convincing his wife Jackie that her relationship with John was nothing more than just friendship.

"Liz swore her relationship with Kennedy never went beyond friendship, but Jackie was convinced they had an ­affair and said some vicious things about Elizabeth that got back to her," the friend said.

Another stunning revelations included that Taylor's greatest love, Richard Burton, resorted to physical violence several times during their relationship.

Marie Osmond Talks About Meeting Elizabeth Taylor: "Those eyes"

Marie Osmond is one of the many stars in Hollywood who is mourning the passing of legendary actress, Elizabeth Taylor last week. Elizabeth’s life ended at the age of 79, but her legacy will live on forever.

Marie Osmond spoke out about the first time she ever met Elizabeth Taylor after she and her brother Donny Osmond did their 500th show at the Flamingo in Las Vegas the other night. She met Elizabeth Taylor at the White House during Ronald Reagan’s presidency.

Of the meeting, Marie said, “Those eyes…They were so beautiful just as everyone says.”

Osmond also went on to praise Elizabeth Taylor’s humanitarian efforts saying, “She showed so much courage in her fight against AIDS. She was one of the first celebrities to take up that cause, and I respect her so much for that.”

Marie Osmond admired Elizabeth Taylor so much, that she even used violet colored eyes for her doll collection.

Marie Osmond recalled to the Las Vegas Sun about the time she met Elizabeth Taylor.

The setting was an event at the White House, while Ronald Reagan was president. Taylor (who died Wednesday at the age of 79) was there with her husband at the time, then-Sen. John Warner, R-Virginia.

Osmond, talking after she and her brother Donny finished their 500th show at the Flamingo in Las Vegas, remembered her face-to-face meeting with the legendary film beauty.

"Those eyes," Osmond said. "They were so beautiful, just as everyone says.”

Taylor's trademark violet eyes inspired Osmond to create eyes that color for her doll collection.

Osmond called Taylor "an inspiration. She showed so much courage in her fight against AIDS. She was one of the first celebrities to take up that cause, and I respect her so much for that.”
