Wide of birthday sign\u003cbr/\u003eA red carpet fit for a queen was laid out Tuesday (27 February 2007) for Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor, who celebrated her 75th birthday at a lavish party in Las Vegas.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Family and friends\" of Taylor booked the Medici Cafe and Terrace for the closed party at the Ritz-Carlton, hotel spokeswoman Marina Nicola said.\u003cbr/\u003eThe guest list remained secret, but, in keeping with the occasion, 75 people were expected for dinner and cake at the resort, 17 miles east of the Las Vegas Strip.\u003cbr/\u003e\"An official list has not been released but guests will be arriving shortly after Dame Elizabeth,\" Nicola said. The British-born Taylor was honoured with the title of Dame in 2000.\u003cbr/\u003eTaylor's closest friends include Michael Jackson - who is now living in Las Vegas, it was confirmed Tuesday by a spokeswoman.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Academy Award-winning actress, who uses a wheelchair because of back problems, last year dismissed tabloid reports that she was being treated for early Alzheimer's disease or was gravely ill.\u003cbr/\u003eTaylor has won two Oscars for best actress and starred in more than 55 films, including \"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,\" \"Butterfield 8,\" \"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?\" and \"Cleopatra.\"\u003cbr/\u003eShe has been named by the American Film Institute as among the greatest female movie stars of all time.\u003cbr/\u003eBorn on February 27,1932 in Hampstead, London - England, Taylor made her entry into acting at the tender age of ten, when the youngster was cast in the 1942 film \"There's One Born Every Minute.\"\u003cbr/\u003eTaylor's most memorable performance was her 1963 interpretation of the title role in \"Cleopatra,\" - a role that paved the way for the star's first Oscar win.\u003cbr/\u003e\"Cleopatra\" made Taylor the highest paid movie star, when she accepted 100,000 US dollars to star in the lavish production. It was during the filming that Taylor first met her future husband Richard Burton, who was cast to play Marc Antony.\u003cbr/\u003e1963 was to be a good year for Taylor - overlooking the headline grabbing \"Cleopatra\" - the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences finally recognised Elizabeth's acting abilities and awarded her Best Actress for her role as Gloria Wandrous in the 1960 film \"Butterfield 8.\"\u003cbr/\u003eTaylor scooped another Best Actress Oscar for her performance in 1966 drama \"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?\", firmly securing her place in Hollywood history.\u003cbr/\u003eOff-screen, Taylor's love life was never far from tabloid pages. To date the actress has married eight times to seven husbands. Richard Burton was the only man she married twice. \u003cbr/\u003eShe may be well known for her many love affairs - but it's said her most enduring love is with fine jewellery - in 2002 Taylor published a book about her obsession titled \"My Love Affair with Jewelry.\"\u003cbr/\u003eMarch 1997 and 65 year old Elizabeth Taylor suffered a severe health set back when doctors removed a tumour from her brain. Just nine days later, the actress was admitted to the Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre after she suffered a seizure at her home.\u003cbr/\u003eIn 2004 Taylor suffered further set backs when doctors diagnosed her with congestive heart failure.\u003cbr/\u003eOver the years, Taylor has broken her back five times, had skin cancer and now uses a wheelchair to get around.\u003cbr/\u003eBut her immobility didn't stop her enjoying her 75th birthday with her friends and family.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
