Screen legend, Elizabeth Taylor, who passed away earlier this year, was known for her acting ability, glamorous lifestyle, and eight marriages. But one of her most striking features was her beautiful violet eyes. But were they actually violet?
Most official accounts indicate that Taylor’s eyes were actually deep blue in color that appeared purple through enhanced lighting and makeup. In fact, truly violet eyes can only happen in albinos. The fact that her eyes were actually deep blue was documented in a Harper’s Bazaar column from November of 1979.
However, she had one additional distinctive eye feature – Taylor had a double row of eyelashes. The double row of eyelashes resulted from a mutation of the FOXC2 gene that results in abnormal tissue development in embryos.
