Elizabeth Taylor is putting up a fight against a TV miniseries that will claim she was beaten by three of her seven husbands.
The actress sued NBC Wednesday to block the broadcast of the miniseries based on an unreleased book by C. David Heymann.The lawsuit contends the miniseries would be an inaccurate invasion of Taylor's privacy and hurt her financially. The network plans to broadcast the show next season, but no date has been set.
Taylor's lawyer, Neil Papiano, said Heymann's work was inaccurate in damaging ways.
"For example he says that a number of her husbands beat her," Papiano said. "That is not true."
