Legions of celebrity fans showed up on the solemn day of Jackson's memorial service to pay tribute to his legacy. From longtime friends Elizabeth Taylor and Brooke Shields to former child star Macaulay Culkin in attendance with his then-girlfriend Mila Kunis, take a look back at the famous faces who came out to celebrate the life of the talented visionary.
