About the Item

Elizabeth Taylor – Elstree Studios, England, Elizabeth Taylor’s jewellery collection was renowned as one of the greatest ever assembled. The film star was a passionate admirer of Bulgari jewels and owned many unique pieces that are representative of the brand’s creativity. Indeed, the bold and sumptuous style of Bulgari perfectly matched her particular tastes and when the actress came to Rome to film Cleopatra, the affinity with the brand became a lifelong relationship. Recalling the memorable moments spent at the Condotti store, Taylor stated that “undeniably one of the biggest advantages to filming Cleopatra in Rome was Bulgari’s shop”. This predilection was encouraged by her love affair with Richard Burton, which started on a film set and sealed with magnificent Bulgari jewels.

It was the ultimate training ground in photojournalism, and the launch pad for his career. David’s reunion with Picture Post after doing his National Service (as special photographer based in Eygpt, covering the major trouble zones) was short-lived. The magazine was losing ground and closed. He moved to Fleet Street, first to a bright new Mirror title, Woman’s Sunday Mirror, where incidentally he picked up First Prize in Encyclopaedia Britannica’s Best Pictures of the Year Award for his sequence of ‘Birth of a Baby’, the progress of a young woman delivering her own baby under hypnosis. He was 21, the youngest ever to be awarded this prize. There followed time as a staff photographer with The Daily Mail; Fleet Street was the hub of the world. Then on to freelancing…Queen magazine, Nova, the Sunday Times Magazine, international magazines around the world, over the years covering projects as diverse as riots in Harlem to a film set in Acapulco, a battered wives’ refuge to the Queen and family at Sandringham: the hopeless, the homeless, the glitterati. Trained on the maxim ‘every picture tells a story’ he has focused on film stars, actors, criminals, politicians, prime ministers and countless men, women and children going about their everyday lives. David Steen believes himself to be lucky. He thinks lucky; luck is being in the right place at the right time, having the luck to have a loving family and enduring friends and winning a three-year battle against cancer. Asked by aspiring photographers for his best advice, his stock reply is: ‘Get up early.’ David Steen † 1936 – 2015 Biography: Jack Palance was one of the great villains of 1950s cinema who earned Oscar nominations for his roles in the classics Sudden Fear and Shane. In 1956 he won an Emmy for his role in the television play Requiem for a Heavyweight. For the next few decades, although he enjoyed continued high-profile work, critical acclaim eluded him until 1989, when Tim Burton cast him in Batman as a sinister underworld crime king. In 1991 he won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in the comedy City Slickers alongside Billy Crystal. Her high-profile social life and her 1964 marriage to actor Peter Sellers attracted considerable press attention, leading to her being one of the most photographed celebrities in the world during the 1970s
