Elizabeth and theater and film producer Mike Todd got married in Acapulco, Mexico, in February 1957, just a month after her divorce from Michael Wilding was finalized. Together they had one daughter, Elizabeth "Liza" Todd, but their marriage was short-lived; just a little over a year after they wed, Mike was killed in a plane crash in March 1958. Elizabeth was devastated and sought comfort in Mike's best friend, singer Eddie Fisher, who would become her next husband.
