Grant To Make Millions On Warhol's Liz

Hugh Grant looks set to make a profit of over $30 million (GBP15 million) on an Andy Warhol painting of screen legend Elizabeth Taylor when it goes under the hammer on Tuesday (13Nov07).
The canvas, entitled Liz, was bought by the Notting Hill star in 2001 for $4 million (GBP2 million) at an auction held at Sotheby's in London.
Grant has decided to sell the work, which will be snapped up by the highest bidder on Tuesday at Christie's in New York.
