Elizabeth Taylor Met David Bowie Once, And It Was So Magical

Their meeting is also the definition of random.

OK, so most of us know who Elizabeth Taylor (aka LA LIZ) is, the silver screen icon who was the BIGGEST movie star in the world throughout the 1950s and '60s.

And most of us are also familiar with the many aspects of her well-documented life.

But there might be one fascinating thing you didn't know about La Liz — she was a fan of David Bowie.

She was such a fan that in 1975, she requested that her friend, photographer Terry O'Neill, bring Bowie to meet her so that she could have him audition for a role in her next film, The Blue Bird.

But Bowie committed the ultimate sin before their meeting: He showed up four hours late and upset La Liz.

But, luckily for Bowie, La Liz's anger subsided as soon as she meet him, and the two quickly bonded.

And luckily for us, O'Neill was able to capture this super sweet and iconic meeting.

Although Bowie never got the role in the film.
