Film legend DAME ELIZABETH TAYLOR celebrated her 75th birthday with 75 friends and family in Las Vegas on Tuesday night (27FEB07). The CLEOPATRA actress arrived in a wheelchair at Sin City's Medici Cafe and Terrace at the Ritz-Carlton hotel, escorted by her son CHRISTOPHER, who turned 52 on the same day as his famous mother. Guests included her other children MICHAEL WILDING, ELIZABETH TODD and MARIA BURTON, actress DEBBIE REYNOLDS, her daughter CARRIE FISHER, magicians SIEGFRIED FISCHBACHER and ROY HORN, and model KATHY IRELAND. The media had speculated Taylor's longtime friend MICHAEL JACKSON would attend, but the actress said he would not be arriving, but she had spoken to him on the phone earlier that day.
