Her life had enough drama to rival a Hollywood potboiler and a month after the death of matinee queen Elizabeth Taylor another twist has been added to her legend, the existence of a secret love child.
The Cleopatra star was forced to give up her first child, a baby girl named Norah, according to psychic and self-proclaimed Taylor confidant John Cohan, reported New York Post online.
Cohan claims that Taylor had been a client of his since the 1960s and told him he could not reveal the secret until after her death. “She revealed a secret that’s haunted her for years. A child out of wedlock. The studio and her mother gave baby Norah away,” Cohan told the newspaper. The actress was forced to give away the child as she did not know who the father was, said Cohan.

Gyllenhaal goes bald
Los Angeles: Hollywood heartthrob Jake Gyllenhaal has sacrificed his hair for the sake of method acting.
The 30-year-old plays a tough cop in his upcoming film End of Watch and decided to go bald in a bid to look convincing, reported People magazine.
“He needed to look rugged and after talking it out with the director, he shaved his head,” said the actor’s representative.
This isn’t the first time that the Brokeback Mountain star has shaved his head for a film.
Jake Gyllenhaal did the same for 2005’s Jarhead, where he played a marine.
