Fans of movie goddess Elizabeth Taylor, arguably one of the very most perfect looking of all Hollywood's female stars, will likely have a small place in their memories for Larry Fortensky, Liz's 7th husband. (Actually, theirs was her eighth wedding, inasmuch as she had married actor Richard Burton twice.)
Liz and Larry met at the Betty Ford Clinic, where both had gone to be cured of substance abuse of one kind or another. She was 59. He was 39 and was a construction worker, but a virile-looking one. The union lasted for five years, ending in divorce in 1997.
Fortensky dropped from public view until 1999, when he fell at home, sans health insurance, and Taylor graciously paid his medical bills.
