Exactly 34 years ago, on October 6, 1991, Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor married Larry Fortensky, a construction worker, in a spectacular wedding at Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch.
Their romance began in 1988 at the Betty Ford Clinic, where the 56-year-old star met the 36-year-old blue-collar worker. Despite their contrasting worlds, they bonded quickly, with Larry charmed by her real personality and Elizabeth drawn to his simplicity.
Their star-studded wedding featured 200 celebrity guests, helicopter paparazzi, and even a parachuting photographer. It was Taylor’s eighth and final marriage, blending Hollywood glamour with Larry’s humble roots.
Though the marriage ended in 1996, it was marked by genuine affection rather than scandal. The two remained close until Taylor’s death in 2011, and she even left him money in her will. Larry Fortensky passed away in 2016, closing the chapter on one of Hollywood’s most unexpected love stories.
