Liz to play the Queens sister? - March 04
Liz Hurley has been rumoured to be taking the part of playing Princess Margaret in the ?2m Channel Four film Margaret Rose.

The two-hour film will apparently be a rather lewd account of Margaret’s love affairs, bedding at least five men throughout the film. Channel 4 drama boss John Yorke said: "It is a no-holds-barred, warts and all account of her life. It is not disrespectful, just very frank. It must have been hard being born second in line to the throne and end up 42nd."

But whether or not Liz will accept the role (if offered) is doubtful, as it could end up offending the Queen. Other actresses also rumoured to be considered are Anna Friel and Rachel Stirling. Shooting commences in the spring.

Liz meanwhile has been warming a seat in the front row of many a fashion show throughout the early months of the year, jetting off to Europe to be seen at Versace etc, then being pictured wearing a Che T-Shirt in London. These socialites.

No takers for Liz - 03/11/03
Oooo - gutted! Not a single bid was taken at a charity auction to win a dinner date with Liz Hurley.

You would have thought that people would have jumped at the chance for dinner with Liz, although the thought of watercress soup may have put them off a bit. But surprisingly enough, nobody at the fundraiser for New York fire fighters showed any interest.

Comedian Denis Leary, a pal of Liz’s who hosted the event showed the audience a cardboard cut out of Liz and tried to raise their interest by saying ’You get to spend three hours with Elizabeth Hurley’. But no.

However, there was a flicker of recognition when Hugh Grant’s name was mentioned - someone bid ?9,000 to play a round of golf with him in Scotland. Wonder if they knew who he was, or just thought he was an expensive caddy?

Quick change Liz - 17/10/03

Biography

Born on June 10 1965, in Hampshire, England, Elizabeth Hurley is the daughter of an army officer and an elementary schoolteacher mother.

At 21, Hurley got her first film role in the 1987 film Aria after having attended the London Studio Centre on scholarship. Hurley’s role in the film Remando al Viento that same year could be considered a crucial one, as it also starred her future boyfriend Hugh Grant.

However, despite acting and modelling jobs it was a certain safety pinned Versace frock that made Liz on of Britain’s most famous faces. She wore what would soon simply be called ’that dress’ to the premiere of Hugh’s breakthrough film Four Weddings and a Funeral. More attention followed when Estee Lauder signed Hurley to be the face of their cosmetics.

Although together for several years, even sticking together through the embarrassing Divine Brown incident, Hugh and Liz split in 2001 although they remain friends to this day. Liz had a brief fling with billionaire Steve Bing, during which she became pregnant with her son Damien. A very public battle occured during her pregnancy with Bing claiming that the child was not his. Liz found vindication when the child was born - not only was he the spit of Bing but a dna test proved without doubt what we could all see.

Liz is now engaged to Indian businessman Arun Nayer and their impending nuptuals have been the source of much speculation with several dates touted and even Hugh Grant has been suggested as Arun’s best man.

Meanwhile Liz’s career has taken a forward leap. Her acting credentials may be lousy (Bedazzled anyone?) and her stint as presenter of Project Catwalk might have been panned but the very British beauty has found her niche. Elizabeth Hurley Beach, her own range of beachwear has been flying off the shelves in the UK and US while her Estee Lauder job goes from strength to strength.

Liz splits her time between Ampney Crucis in the Cotswolds and California.
