who was the love of elizabeth taylor's life?

 She says that Mike Todd was the love of her life who she married in 1957 and he died in a plane crash in 1958. Then she also said that the Two great loves of her life were Mike Todd and Richard Burton.

She once described herself as "having the body of a woman and the emotions of a child". However, I think she was far more than this. She had to be a very strong person to lose so many people she loved along the way to one thing or another including death.

Elizabeth Taylor often described her third husband, producer Mike Todd, as the true love of her life, calling their brief, passionate marriage the happiest time of her life. She also regarded her tumultuous, twice-married relationship with actor Richard Burton as a "great love".
Key details about her greatest loves:
  • Mike Todd (1957–1958): Taylor cited Todd as one of her two "great loves," describing him as larger than life. His death in a 1958 plane crash devastated her.
  • Richard Burton (1964–1974, 1975–1976): Widely considered the other great love of her life, their intense, headline-making romance lasted through two marriages and divorces
    .
  • Other Mentions: While not a husband, she also held a deep, platonic love for her close friend and A Place in the Sun co-star, Montgomery Clift.

Ultimately, while Burton was her most famous partner, she explicitly stated in her 2002 book that Mike Todd was her primary "true love".
