Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor was an “amazing, rowdy, badass, passionate pioneer, actress, activist, philanthropist, grandma,” according to her grandson, Quinn Tivey. The son of Taylor’s daughter, Liza Todd, and her husband, artist Hap Tivey, Quinn was obviously fond of his grandmother, describing her as “an amazing matriarch,” according to The Morning Show. “I always knew her as grandma, but in her real life, she was still larger than life.”
While Quinn is carrying on Taylor’s looks, with his dark crown of hair, dramatic brows, fair complexion, and striking eyes (although they’re not quite violet in the way that her’s famously were), he’s also carrying on her legacy in another way. The artist, who is based in New York, took on a new role in 2016 when he became the co-trustee for his grandmother’s trust, which is behind the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation. While speaking about the star’s work with the organization, which she started in 1991, he explained, “She could not stand to see social injustice or unfairness around her … But she knew she had the capacity to do a lot. She had a platform by virtue of her celebrity, and she knew how to use it.”
Adding that she “always had the courage to speak her mind and stand up for what she believed in,” Quinn clearly admired his grandmother, which is a feeling that the next grandchild on this list can relate to.
