Elizabeth Taylor, the renowned movie star, had a remarkable career spanning over six decades. Alongside her successful professional life, she also had a vibrant personal life, being married eight times and having four children. Now, her ten grown-up grandchildren are continuing her legacy, each in their unique way.
Celebrities from the 20th century not only have children who resemble them but also grandchildren who share a striking resemblance to their famous grandparents. Elizabeth Taylor, one of the most iconic actresses of all time, is no exception.
Despite her eventful personal life, Elizabeth Taylor had a successful acting career. She was married eight times, including two marriages to Richard Burton, and had four children: Michael Wilding Jr., Christopher Wilding, Liza Todd, and Maria Burton. Each of her children grew up and started their own families, resulting in ten beautiful grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.
Elizabeth Taylor faced numerous health challenges during her later years, enduring more than 30 surgeries for injuries, scoliosis, and skin cancer. In 2011, she tragically passed away due to congestive heart failure.
Before her passing, Taylor had the joy of having her children and grandchildren spend time with her at her mansion in Bel Air, Los Angeles. Today, her ten grandchildren continue to work tirelessly to keep her legacy alive. Let’s learn more about each of them:
Laela Wilding, born in 1971, is the daughter of Elizabeth’s first child, Michael Wilding Jr. Currently residing in Portland, Oregon, she works as a graphic designer and yoga instructor. Laela had the privilege of spending significant time with her grandmother during her upbringing, being the first grandchild. She cherishes memories of their Sundays and holidays spent together.
Naomi deLuce Wilding, born in 1976, is Laela’s younger sister. Presently, she plays a role at the Wilding Cran Gallery in Los Angeles, a venture she co-founded in 2014 alongside her husband, Anthony Gran. In addition to her professional endeavors, Naomi is actively engaged with the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, continuing her grandmother’s philanthropic legacy.
In interviews, Laela has expressed affection for her late grandmother, portraying her as someone who continually fought for justice. She also recounted fond memories of Taylor styling her grandchildren’s hair with her artistic flair.
Laela’s resemblance to her grandmother has drawn attention from many, with frequent comparisons highlighting the striking similarity between the two. Indeed, the resemblance is uncanny!
Naomi did not have the opportunity to witness Taylor’s acting career firsthand, but she always admired her grandmother. Recalling moments spent in Taylor’s dressing room, Naomi observed her transformation and realized that beneath the superstar image, Taylor was a warm and loving grandmother.
Instilling values in her grandchildren was important to Taylor, and Naomi treasures memories of her grandmother’s warmth and openness. These experiences inspire Naomi to carry on Taylor’s philanthropic work, honoring her legacy and the principles she held dear.
Caleb Wilding, born in 1983, is Elizabeth Taylor’s eldest grandson. He was adopted by Christopher Wilding and Aileen Getty after they experienced several unsuccessful pregnancies. Preferring a life away from the spotlight, Caleb values his privacy and enjoys his passion for motorcycles.
Andrew Wilding, born in 1984, is Elizabeth Taylor’s second grandson. In contrast to his brother Caleb, Andrew decided to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, following in his grandmother’s footsteps. He has worked as an actor in numerous productions and has also found success behind the camera as a cinematographer and producer.
