She is well-known for marrying eight times.
Twice to Richard Burton, often referred to as the love of her life. However, he wasn’t the sole man who had a significant impact on Elizabeth Taylor’s heart.
The sister of Ms. Taylor’s final husband, construction worker Larry Fortensky, claimed that the Oscar-winning actress loved him ‘until the very end.’
Linda Untiet, who became acquainted with Taylor during her five-year marriage to Mr. Fortensky, stated, ‘Elizabeth wrote Larry a love letter towards the end of last year.
‘In it, she expressed how much she still cared for him. It nearly amounted to a “goodbye” letter.’
Mr. Fortensky met Ms. Taylor, who passed away last week at the age of 79, while they were both undergoing rehabilitation for drug and alcohol addiction at California’s Betty Ford Clinic.
They tied the knot in 1991, when he was 39 and she was 59.
Ms. Untiet spoke with her brother last Wednesday, shortly after he received the news of Ms. Taylor’s passing.
She remarked, ‘He was very upset. Liz and Larry always maintained contact. They had a deep affection for one another. Larry spoke to her just before she entered the hospital for the final time.’
Housewife Ms. Untiet, 53, disclosed that Ms. Taylor continued to provide financial support to Mr. Fortensky, amounting to $5,000 each month.
She valued his loyalty in never revealing details about her. Their friendship lasted until the end, and Liz loved him until the very end. She had a fondness for men, and Larry was her last love.
‘The relationship ended because he no longer wanted to be identified as Mr. Elizabeth Taylor.’
Mr. Fortensky now travels across America in a trailer. His sister mentioned, ‘He doesn’t need to work, thanks to Elizabeth. She cherished her true friends, and Larry was undoubtedly one of them.’
