While Elizabeth Taylor may have dazzled the world on countless red carpets, her grandchildren remember her for the simple, heartfelt moments they shared. "I remember lying in bed with her, watching movies, chatting, and getting the best advice," recalls her grandson Quinn Tivey, whose mother is Liza Todd, one of Liz's four children. This heartfelt memory is featured in the latest issue of Closer magazine, now available on newsstands. Quinn's words paint a picture of Elizabeth Taylor that goes beyond the glitz and glamour, showing a woman who cherished her family above all else.

The Family That Bonded Through Simple Joys

As Liz grew older, she prioritized the simple pleasures of family life over her illustrious career. A close friend reveals, "While she was an amazing mother, her career kept her constantly on the move. But as time passed, family became her focal point. Her grandchildren were her ultimate pride and joy." This shift in focus allowed Elizabeth to immerse herself in the lives of her 10 grandchildren, creating memories that would last a lifetime.

We'd sit on her bed, and she'd open her jewelry closet, sharing captivating stories tied to each piece. These moments were pure magic."
