Elizabeth Taylor arrived fashionably late Tuesday to her 75th birthday party decked out in diamonds and fur.
February 28, 2007 (Press Release) --
The Hollywood icon came down the red carpet at a Las Vegas-area resort in a wheelchair. She was escorted by her 52-year-old son Christopher Wilding, who shares the same birthday.
Taylor smiled and batted her trademark violet eyes as photographers sang "Happy Birthday" to her.
When asked about the secret to her longevity, she quipped: "Hangin' in."
Guests including Debbie Reynolds, her daughter Carrie Fisher, magicians Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn, and model Kathy Ireland turned out for the private party at the Medici Cafe and Terrace at the Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas.
Among Taylor's closest friends are pop star Michael Jackson, whose spokeswoman confirmed Tuesday in a news release that he is now living in Las Vegas.
Taylor said she spoke with Jackson earlier in the day but didn't expect him to attend her party. Besides Christopher, her children Michael Wilding, 54, Elizabeth "Liza" Todd, 49, and Maria Burton, 45 were at the fete.
The 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.
Taylor 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."
She has been named by the American Film Institute as among the greatest female movie stars of all time.
