With Elizabeth Taylor's recent passing at the age of 79, the advertising world lost one of the pioneers of celebrity endorsements. The Oscar winning actress created some of the most memorable print ads dating back to the 1940's, as the Hollywood starlet lent her unmistakable image to such brands as Max Factor, Whitman's chocolate, and of course diamonds. She is also credited for being the first celebrity to create her own fragrance, which is now a mainstay for most A-List stars of today. The advertising world will miss one of the originals.
