Who did the "seven husbands" routine better—Elizabeth Taylor or Lana Turner?

Liz can count a socialite (Conrad Hilton Jr.) and politician (John Warner) among her arsenal; Lana married a couple of wealthy businessmen as well, but she also wed a con artist (Ron Pellar) and a low-rent actor who molested her daughter (Lex Barker); to her credit, though, Lana did force Barker out of her house at gunpoint when she found out he was diddling Cheryl. Both Liz and Lana also married one of their seven husbands twice, so they're tied in that regard.

Liz ended up filthy rich after all that drama, and with children who grew up to be functional adults, and who never had to stand trial for shooting anyone.

So I guess that makes her the winner.

Oh Liz, by far, brand-name heirs, traumatic widowhood with the death of Mike Todd (who was an interesting guy), then the destruction of the Eddie Fisher-Debbie Reynolds marriage and then the wild double marriage to Richard Burton with a bunch of jewelry. None of Lana's marriages were nearly as interesting. And that's not even count a stint as a senator's wife and marrying the construction guy.

There wasn't a truly boring marriage in the lot.

Michael Wilding seemed a bit of a snooze, R3.

Hilton was a megarich heir with movie star good looks. Michael Wilding was a screen matinee idol of the mature variety back in the day. Mike Todd was a charismatic household name showman of the 1950s. Even Eddie Fisher had enjoyed great fame in the mid 1950s before his style started to become passe. And she turned Burton into a megastar with their love affair.

I think Eddie might have been the hottest lay. Nothing better than a talented Jewish guy with a big cut dick. Talk about getting over the death of a spouse with that kind of solace.

Lana probably couldn't remember her former husbands.

Meghan Markle. In time.

Taylor appeared peerless in the way of marrying/bedding attractive and/or charismatic men.

Below is her pregnant and flanked by husbands #2 and #3.

R6 Carrie Fisher said that when Mike Todd died, her father flew to Liz's side to console her. And then he moved around to her front to console her with his penis.

Liz probably wins, but as far as being married a while to pure physcial beauty, in my opinion, Lana wins with Lex Barker. Yes I know he screwed her daughter but I am just talking male beauty. ALso, I suspect Nicky Hilton might have been a good lay, but he was a wife beater and a drug addict and alcoholic so that probably took the thrill off of it.

Lana always struck me as pure sex and a bit on the hard side. Liz was a bit more maternal.

Nicky was a horrid abusive husband but physically he was stunning. Far more handsome than Fisher and Burton.
