'It's an honor': Katy said of Elizabeth: 'IĀæm inspired by her bold activism, her constant boss moves in business, and through it all, an unapologetic way of loving'.

Triangle: Elizabeth's (left) 'unapologetic way of loving' saw her through eight marriages, one of which was to Eddie Fisher (middle), whom she stole from his first wife Debbie Reynolds (right).

Liz and Dick: Debbie and Elizabeth mended fences after the latter left Eddie for Richard Burton; Elizabeth and Richard are pictured together in 1965.

Screen idols: Elizabeth's most famous romance was to Richard, whom she became involved with while shooting Cleopatra and whom she married and divorced twice.
