JOIN ELIZABETH TAYLOR IN SUPPORTING OUR WORK

How You Can Make a Donation

Everyone remembers Elizabeth Taylor in “Cleopatra.” What they remember is the exaggerated eye makeup—which every shopgirl and suburban matron in America immediately adopted; the pharonic headdress; the robes that seemed to be made of pleated gold; the triumphal entry into Rome. What they tend to forget is that the most famous femme fatale in all history was brought to Rome as a captive... because Elizabeth Taylor so captivated movie audiences that the triumph was hers alone.

Few remember what Elizabeth Taylor wore on the day she testified before a Congressional committee, in 1985, on the need for vastly increased federal funding for AIDS research—but history will remember her as much for her legacy of AIDS advocacy as for any of the roles she ever played.

You can join Dame Elizabeth in the fight against HIV/AIDS—and honor her unparalleled legacy of advocacy—by making a donation to the Elizabeth Taylor Endowment for the CARE Center at the UCLA AIDS Institute. To make a donation of any size, contact Helen J. Brown at 310-794.4419 or at hjbrown@mednet.ucla.edu. You can also mail in your donation with the Pledge Form.
