‘Wow!’: Users Say That Elizabeth Taylor’s Granddaughter ‘Looks Like’ Her Grandmother – Photos

Beyond the screen, the actress lived an extraordinary life, marrying eight times to seven different men and raising four children. Among them were her sons, Christopher and Michael Jr., born during her marriage to her second husband, Michael Wilding.

In 1957, she welcomed her daughter, Liza, with her third husband, Mike Todd.

Elizabeth began the process of adopting Maria Burton, born in 1961, during that same year.

When the late actress married Richard Burton in 1964, he joined the process by formally adopting Maria as their daughter.

As her children began their own families, Elizabeth’s legacy expanded to encompass ten grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

Here’s a glimpse at her grandchildren, including one who fans think has inherited her iconic grandmother’s stunning beauty.

Naomi Wilding

Elizabeth’s legacy runs deep within her family, particularly through her second eldest grandchild, Naomi Wilding.

Naomi co-owns the Wilding Cran Gallery with her husband, Anthony Cran, and serves as an ambassador for The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

In 2021, Naomi, now 48, reflected on her grandmother, describing her as both a glamorous icon and a warm, affectionate grandmother who always made her family feel at home.

Andrew Wilding

Elizabeth’s artistic legacy lives on through her grandson Andrew Wilding, who is an actor, cinematographer, and producer. Andrew has showcased his creative talents in projects like “Freestyle” and “Everything Carries Me to You.”

Caleb Wilding

Andrew’s creative endeavors are paralleled by the distinctive journey of his cousin, Caleb Wilding. Adopted by Christopher Wilding and his wife, Aileen Getty, in 1983, Caleb has a love for motorcycles, showcasing his adventurous nature while remaining tied to Elizabeth’s lasting legacy.

Tarquin Wilding

Caleb’s adventurous spirit is reflected in his cousin Tarquin Wilding’s artistic pursuits. Known for his performances in “Shameless” and “In Between,” the actor discussed his grandmother’s enduring influence in 2017.

“We admire my grandmother for her boundless generosity,” he said, expressing that the family feels “grateful to be able to honor and continue her legacy. Especially together.”

Rhys Tivey

Tarquin’s cousin, Rhys Wilding, a musician and songwriter with a background in Jazz Performance, admired their grandmother’s fearless nature. In 2017, he reflected on her determination to confront the hardest challenges head-on.

Quinn Tivey

Rhys’s thoughts on Elizabeth’s resolve are beautifully complemented by Quinn Tivey’s recollections of her loving warmth. For Quinn, a trustee of the late actress’s estate, she was more than a Hollywood legend—she was simply “Grandma.”

He fondly reminisced, “She was the woman I could lie in bed with to chat and watch movies.”

Elizabeth Carson

Quinn’s heartfelt recollections of Elizabeth’s warmth are shared by her namesake granddaughter, Elizabeth Carson. Raised in New York City, the late icon’s granddaughter graduated magna cum laude from NYU in 2004 with a degree in Applied Psychology.

Now employed by New York’s Administration for Children’s Services, she carries on her grandmother’s mission through her involvement with the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. “The most meaningful part of our work with the foundation is that we are helping to save and improve lives,” she said.

Lowell Wilding

Elizabeth’s namesake’s commitment to her grandmother’s mission is mirrored by her cousin Lowell Wilding’s efforts. Based in Los Angeles, Lowell is establishing the Elizabeth Taylor Archive for the Elizabeth Taylor Trust, safeguarding the legacy of the world’s first globally renowned celebrity HIV/AIDS activist.

Richard McKeown

Lowell’s efforts to preserve Elizabeth’s legacy are complemented by Maria’s son, Richard McKeown. Richard has cultivated a dynamic career, serving as Creative Director at Bethesda and CEO of The Gaming World Inc., highlighting his innovation and leadership in the digital space.

Laela Wilding

Richard’s groundbreaking career is contrasted by the understated yet meaningful life of Laela Wilding, Elizabeth’s eldest grandchild and first granddaughter. Residing in Portland, Oregon, Laela works as a graphic designer while leading a private life.

Laela also contributes as an ambassador for the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation, driven by her grandmother’s unwavering advocacy. “Continuing her legacy is important to us. She really wanted to break down stigma,” she shared in a 2016 interview.

She also reminisced about her grandmother’s iconic moment at the 1992 Oscars, where Elizabeth wore a red ribbon to bring attention to the fight against AIDS. “She wore it proudly, and she wore it the rest of her life,” Laela remarked in 2017.

Her sister Naomi emphasized that the ribbon symbolized Elizabeth’s unwavering dedication to raising awareness and eliminating the stigma surrounding AIDS, underscoring her lifelong commitment to advocacy.

Laela’s role as an ambassador embodies not only her professional commitment but also her profound personal connection to the legacy of the iconic “Cleopatra” star.

In interviews, she warmly reminisced about her grandmother’s affection and deep love for her family.

The graphic designer shared that family was Elizabeth’s highest priority, as she worked tirelessly to maintain a close bond among her children and grandchildren, ensuring everyone stayed connected.

The late actress’s lively personality was evident in cherished moments, such as cuddling during movie nights or experimenting with pieces from her iconic jewelry collection, including the renowned 33.19-carat Krupp diamond.

What resonated most with Laela, however, was Elizabeth’s immense generosity and passion. “Her heart was huge,” she shared, adding, “She made a big impact on us,” through her activism, love, and vibrant approach to life.

In a 2022 social media tribute for TCM’s “Summer Under the Stars,” Laela posted a heartfelt message about her grandmother. The tribute sparked a flood of admiration from followers, many of whom remarked on her remarkable resemblance to the iconic actress.

One wrote, “You’re as beautiful as your grandmother. What a great tribute to one of my favorite actresses!” Another exclaimed, “Wow! She looks like Elizabeth Taylor!”

Observing the family resemblance, someone else added, “Wow — The Eyes — her gran and her dad!” Another admirer commented, “Thank you. I always wondered if any of the grandchildren inherited her violet eyes.” And finally, one person simply marveled, “Oh my gosh… she looks like Liz…”

Elizabeth Taylor’s influence reaches far beyond her illustrious Hollywood career, inspiring both her family and fans through her unwavering advocacy and love for life. Her legacy endures through her grandchildren, who honor her memory and ensure her spirit thrives for generations to come.
