Why was Elizabeth Taylor such good friends with Michael Jackson?

I don't understand their friendship.

They had nothing in common.

Did he pay her bills, or something?

To her credit, she never turned her back on him.

He gave her expensive jewelry.

Seriously.

Was Marlon a good friend, too?

She was sort of a fag hag.

He wanted to look like her and went under the knife many times presumably clutching a picture of Liz he’d cut out of a magazine. It’s a strange and somewhat creepy basis for a friendship.

She took a liking to him. Once Liz liked him, that as it. I think MJ and ET , had a need to adored and they loved the adulation. ?

She has explained this before in interviews: they were both child stars, both animal lovers, both philanthropists.

They were both child stars with awful stage parents.

There must have been 100 threads on this topic already.

Many of Elizabeths' s relationships were transactionable.

Although she was very wealthy on her own, ET could be bought with expensive gifts especially jewels.

While she did great work dealing with the AIDS crisis, ET was a hot house flower with often questionable judgement.
