ELIZABETH TAYLOR: REBEL SUPERSTAR - ONE ON ONE WITH THE DIRECTORS OF THE 3 PART DOCU-SERIES

A new documentary takes a deep dive into Elizabeth Taylor's craft as an actor who mesmerized audiences while changing the relationship between cinemagoers and stars.

In the canon of cinematic legends, few figures possess the enduring cultural resonance of Elizabeth Taylor. A performer who navigated the transition from studio-era ingénue to global celebrity, philanthropist, and business pioneer, Taylor’s influence extends far beyond the screen.

Executive produced by Kim Kardashian, the new documentary series Elizabeth Taylor: Rebel Superstar approaches her life and legacy with a rigor and contemporary lens rarely afforded to icons of her stature, examining not only the public persona but the strategic, political, and deeply human decisions that shaped her career.

At the center of this ambitious undertaking are directors James House and Caroline Sciama, who bring an archival precision and narrative discipline to the project. Through unprecedented access to personal materials, interviews, and industry accounts, they construct a portrait that situates Taylor within the broader evolution of Hollywood, the mechanics of fame, and the shifting relationship between celebrity and advocacy.

In spoke with James House and Caroline Sciama about the challenges of reframing a figure so heavily mythologized, the editorial choices behind the series’ structure, and why Taylor’s rebelliousness remains a vital lens through which to understand the modern entertainment landscape.

The first part of the three-part series premieres on demand and on the Hollywood Suite 2010s+ channel on December 26 at 9 PM ET. S1.E1: Dec 27 at 2:00 AM, S1.E1: Dec 27 at 2:10 PM
