Episode 5: Fabulous!

Available for over a year

As opportunities to star in films began to wane, Elizabeth Taylor found a new outlet for her unique brand - perfumery. She wasn't the first celebrity to launch her own fragrance (Sophia Loren had beaten her to it), but she was the first to be so involved in the creation, design and marketing, setting a template for future celebrities. With fashion writer Sali Hughes, psychologist Dr Linda Papadopoulos, Dr Milly Williamson of Goldsmiths College, University of London, and Elizabeth Taylor impersonator Louise Gallagher. (Including archive from Barbara Walters 2002 interview with Elizabeth Taylor on ABC.) Produced by Alan Hall with music by Jeremy Warmsley. A Falling Tree production for BBC Radio 4
