1981-2011. Bel Air Mansion
The six-bedroom estate, which was previously the home of Nancy Sinatra, served as Taylor’s primary residence from 1981 until her death in 2011. What was inside and outside the home that was her best haven? Let’s take a look!
The star of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? bought the property in the early 1980s, and Waldo Fernandez, a personal friend and interior designer, helped renovate it. The house was about family and fun, not celebrity and flashbulbs, even though its gardens were full of roses and its walls were covered in Impressionist paintings. She liked a cozy life, friends, and good food, and only for important events would dress her best attire and jewels to become an iconic Elizabeth Taylor.
