In 1993, she created her own foundation, the Elizabeth Taylor Foundation for AIDS. She was one of the first major celebrities to go public with her support for AIDS victims, and by 1999 she had helped raise an estimated $50 million to fight the disease. She also launched two perfumes, Passion and White Diamonds, both of which played on her legendary beauty and movie star allure. Together, sales of the scents bring in an estimated $200 million annually. In 1999, Taylor was made a Dame of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II. Neither Taylor’s marital ups-and-downs nor her battle with her weight were ever far from the public eye. In 1991, she married Larry Fortensky--a construction worker thirty years her junior whom she met at the Ford clinic--at the Wonderland Ranch, owned by her close friend Michael Jackson (no stranger to tabloid attention himself). She and Fortensky divorced in 1997. From the mid-1990s, Taylor again captured headlines with her repeated health scares: she had hip replacements in 1994 and 1995 and had a benign brain tumor removed in 1997. In 1998 and 1999, she suffered two falls in her Bel Air home, repeatedly injuring her lower back. Despite such incidents, her energy for her various causes and her family—she has nine grandchildren and a great-grandson—remain undiminished. .
