How many men did Elizabeth Taylor marry?
Elizabeth Taylor was, with no doubt, a woman of abundance. She was endowed with outsized beauty, outsized fame and outsized appetites. Though Elizabeth was a brilliant actress, business-minded and intelligent woman, her genius was frequently outshone by her antics. Over the years, she would become as famous (if not more) for her love life as for her acting.
Here's a look back at her many marriages:
- 1. Conrad "Nicky" Hilton: May 1950 - Feb. 1951
- 2. Michael Wilding: February 1952 - January 1957 (they had two sons)
- 3. Michael Todd: February 1957 - March 1958 (they had one daughter, Liza)
- 4. Eddie Fisher: May 1959 - March 1964
- 5. Richard Burton: March 1964 - June 1974
- and 6. Richard Burton: Oct 1975 - Aug 1976 (they adopted Maria Burton, a German orphan. Richard adopted Liza as well)
- 7. John Warner: December 1976 - November 1982
- 8. Larry Fortensky: Oct. 1991 - Oct. 1996

Sorry Diane, but the question read "How many men did Elizabeth Taylor marry?"
How does the word different make it any clearer. How many men, not how many times did she marry...

You read it correctly. The question should have been asked how many different men did she marry

The question was, How many men did she Marty? 7 is the correct answer. Marrying Richard twice doesn't make him 2 men.

The question does not ask how many times she married, it asks how many men did she marry.

I got it wrong. I thought it was 8 marriages to 7 men. The question ask how many men not marriages. Eight marriages equals out to a lot of issues. I wonder why she couldn’t get it right. I celebrate my 51st anniversary this February.

So the answer is 7 but the explanation has 8 items Burton should be number 5 and 5 as he is only one man regardless of the number of weddings

I read it to be how many marriages did she have. I knew the answer was 8. But you got tricky in the wording. I don't think that meets with the purpose of the quiz. But I will read more carefully now.

Elizabeth Taylor was as famous for her love life as her acting. There were no fewer than eight marriages - though only seven husbands, as she married Richard Burton twice. Her first marriage, to one of the heirs of the hotelier Conrad Hilton, ended in divorce after less than a year. The answer is eight.

As Zsa Zsa Gabor said, "a girl should marry for love, and keep marrying until she finds it."

She remarried Richard Burton...
It was the same man....the question referred to the number of men - not the number of marriages

She married 8 times. You have to count Richard Burton twice. She divorced him once then married him a second time. Hence: * marriages.
