From the moment Elizabeth Taylor and Michael Jackson met, they were hooked on each other. Soon a deep friendship blossomed, unexpectedly unlike anything either had ever experienced. Through thick and thin, through their various emotional upheavals, through the peaks and valleys of their careers, through their personal traumas and heartaches, through the unending health issues and extreme physical pain that each experienced, and through the glare of the often merciless public spotlight, their bond held them together, and their love for each other endured. Donald Bogle skillfully recreates the moving narrative of Taylor and Jackson's experiences together and their intense emotional connection, without shying away from the controversies that swirled around them. Through interviews with friends and acquaintances of the two stars, as well as anonymous but credible sources, Elizabeth and Michael emerges as a tender, intimate look at this famous odd couple and a treasure to their millions o f fans.

Donald Bogle is a film historian and author of six books concerning African Americans in film and on television. He won the 1973 Theatre Library Association Award for Toms, Coons, Mulattoes, Mammies and Bucks, which identified the five basic stereotypical Black film roles. Several of his other books have been the basis for documentaries & feature films. He is an instructor at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and the University of Pennsylvania.

Michael Early has worked extensively Off-Broadway, in regional theatre, and on television. He received an Audio Publishers Association Award for Here in Harlem: Poems in Many Voices by Walter Dean Myers and can be heard on numerous audiobooks.
