Rachel Weisz will play Elizabeth Taylor in A Special Relationship, detailing her crusading activism to bring awareness to the AIDS epidemic.
Elizabeth Taylor became a movie icon in the 20th century like few others due to her glamour, her penchant for starring in grandiose, and often lusty, productions, and her string of husbands. However, she also became one of the most visible activists and proponents for AIDS research during the height of the virus’ epidemic in the 1980s. And it is that specific period in Taylor’s life that Rachel Weisz will seek to portray when she dons the violet hued contact lenses in A Special Relationship.
The project was announced Monday by See-Saw Films which will produce the film. The movie will specifically unpack these crucial years in Taylor’s life by studying her relationship with Roger Wall, a gay man she hired as her personal assistant in the 1980s.
