Liz Hurley
- Profession: Actress
- Place/Date of Birth: Basingstoke, Hampshire, 10 June 2020
- Associated with: Hugh Grant
Liz’s scenes are set in Bucharest, so she can expect to dine out on local specialties like ’Sarmale’ - a spicy dish of bitter cabbage leaves stuffed with meat, while possibly drinking lots of ’Tuica’ - the local plum brandy. But since everything is relatively cheap, perhaps she will indulge in a few presents for baby Damian and millionaire boyfriend Arun Naya instead.

Sooner, rather than later! - 15/07/03
It looks like Liz Hurley will be marrying her millionaire boyfriend Arun Nayar sooner rather than later.
Arun’s scorned wife Italian model Valentina Pedroni has finally agreed to grant him a quickie divorce.
Nayar’s wife had initially refused, insisting she was, "utterly committed to their marriage". She has now changed her mind and it looks like Liz will be free to marry her lover by the the end of the year.

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.
