She has been married eight times – so it can safely be assumed she has tangled with her fair share of predators in her time.With that in mind, Elizabeth Taylor’s most recent excursion – despite her years and frail health – might not have proved such a problem for her.In what appeared to be an extraordinary new bid to prove her vitality after a slew of reports about her ill-health, Miss Taylor booked herself onto a great white shark expedition.Seemingly oblivious to her ever-deteriorating health, the 74-year-old wheelchair-bound actress enjoyed a two hour, six mile round trip, on a specialist shark-viewing boat off Hawaii.Never a stickler for convention, the Cleopatra actoress decided not to dress up for the occasion. Instead, she sported a kaftan-style nightdress over navy blue slipper socks.Evidently going for comfort over style, she also decided against any make-up, instead opting for the bare faced look.After emerging from her chauffeur-driven car, with the help of two aides – and her pet Maltese dog, Daisy – she made slow and painful progress to her boat for the day, the Kainani.Winched up and out of her cumbersome black wheelchair, she clambered onto the deck of the 32-foot long chartered vessel. Chatting to friends, she looked happy and relaxed as the boat set sail, heading towards the nearby shark grounds. Miss Taylor’s exciting excursion took place in North Oahu in Hawaii where she is currently holidaying.It is a rare trip abroad for the Dame. For the past few years she has remained a reclusive figure, plagued with ill health, and largely holed up in her Hollywood mansion.
