The only child of Elizabeth Taylor not to have some kind of connection to the entertainment industry, in fact, is her adopted daughter, Maria Burton. Taylor adopted Maria prior to her marriage to Richard Burton, and Burton adopted her later, per Distractify. She’s also not to be confused with the accomplished film director Maria Burton (via IMDb). Not much else is known about the life of Taylor’s adopted daughter, and for the most part she’s kept to herself. In 2016, though, Taylor’s granddaughter, Elizabeth Carson — Maria’s daughter — spoke lovingly about her grandma to Town and Country Magazine. (Grandmother Liz did granddaughter Elizabeth’s hair and makeup for junior and senior prom.)
Otherwise, Taylor’s other three children all work in or have some connection to moviemaking, although it’s likely you’d recognize only one of their faces from on-screen appearances. That’s Michael Wilding Jr., the son of Taylor’s second husband, Michael Wilding (pictured above.) Now retired, Wilding Jr. appeared in several well-known TV shows, including “Dallas” and “Guiding Light” (via Distractify). Her second son with Wilding, Christopher, is a retired film editor. Taylor had other daughter, Liza Todd, with Mike Todd, who died in a private plane crash. According to the New York Post, Liza made one uncredited film appearance (also via IMDb) before deciding to live her life out of the public eye.
