I want you to marry me,’” Morgan says. “I said yes.” Morgan has two children and he has four from previous marriages. The couple will live in Morgan’s lakeside home in Hendersonville, Tenn.

There must be something left for me to do. And I have to find out what that something is and go out there and do it.” Taylor, who was born in London to American parents, has won two Oscars and has been in dozens of movies, including Giant and National Velvet. She was most recently in the ABC movie These Old Broads with Debbie Reynolds, Shirley MacLaine, and Joan Collins.
