Elizabeth Taylor was famous for her violet-coloured eyes, which were perfectly framed by thick, luscious eyelashes. But not many people know that what appeared to be the work of several generous coats of mascara was actually a genetic mutation that caused the Hollywood legend to be born with a double row of eyelashes.
Elizabeth's parents were said to be horrified when a doctor told them their baby had a "mutation", but quickly reconsidered their dismay when the physician explained how it would affect the little girl.
