Abstract: ELIZABETH TAYLOR is the reason I became a tabloid reporter. She filled my childhood. In the late 1960s and '70s, my mother kept a never-ending supply of every pulp movie star magazine and gossip tabloid imaginable on our coffee table in Levittown, Pa. -- and she consumed all of them with gusto. Liz and Dick! Liz and Eddie! Liz's continued feud with Debbie! Liz's latest illness! Liz's latest heartbreak! [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
