Katy Perry will be narrating a forthcoming podcast series about Elizabeth Taylor.
Produced by Perry, House of Taylor and Imperative, “Elizabeth The First” is a 10-episode series about the famous actress as an original influencer.
Including topics about how Taylor negotiated the first $1,000,000.00 salary to star in 1963′s “Cleopatra,” and the creation of her White Diamonds fragrance empire 30 years ago when celebrity-endorsed productions were not common or popular, the podcast will also discuss how Liz used her celebrity to call attention to HIV/AIDS and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, including rare stories from people who knew her best.
In a statement about the forthcoming piece, Perry says of Taylor, “like most people, I was attracted to her glamour… I’m inspired by her bold activism, her constant boss moves in business, and through it all, an unapologetic way of loving – all things I try to live in my own life. It’s an honor to be able to share her story in this way.”
Adds the House of Taylor, “We believe wholeheartedly that this take on Elizabeth will resonate with audiences. Her story is timely. And, we’re excited for people to hear about her in a different light and see her the way we do.”
“Elizabeth The First” will debut late-spring of 2022 on all major podcast platforms.
Elizabeth Taylor died in 2011.
