HISTORY OF MACY'S AND ELIZABETH TAYLOR

In addition, Ms. Taylor was involved in related cause-driven promotions with Macy's, including Glamorama and Fashion Pass. In 2017, ETAF supporters, actress Judith Light and renowned HIV specialist Dr. Michael Gottlieb MD, presented Macy's with the inaugural Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation Dr. Michael Gottlieb Partnership Award.
