Elizabeth Taylor & her men

Some people say she was the most beautiful screen actress of all time, but one thing is for sure Elizabeth Taylor has heard more wedding bells than anyone else. At 78 years of age Elizabeth Taylor is about to tie the knot with a gentleman who is roughly 30 years her junior. 49 year old Jason Winters, who is a Talent agent in Los Angeles, may be her future husband number nine in a long succession of husbands. Let's have a look at her men... (REUTERS/Fred Prouser)
