Ursulla Thiess Taylor


Ursula Thiess Taylor, widow of Robert Taylor, and mother to Terry and Tessa Taylor, died on June 19, 2010, at the age of 86. She was brought to the United States from Germany by Howard Hughes and was on the cover of Life Magazine in 1951. It is easy to see why Howard Hughes thought she was the most beautiful woman. She was in several pictures, such as Bengal Brigade and Bandido.

In 1954, she married one of our famous (and one of my favorite) Nebraskans, Robert Taylor. She had two children with Taylor. In 1996, she attended a conference on Robert Taylor with her children in Beatrice. It was wonderful to meet the family.

I am sorry for the loss to her family.
