Watch these two films and get back to us on how Elizabeth Taylor lacked talent:

"The Taming of the Shrew" (1967)

"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolfe?"(1966)

Both co-starred her with real-life husband Richard Burton. They funneled the tension of their precarious marriage(s) into their roles in a manner that has never been matched.

“Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolfe?”

Liz was TERRIFYING in that role! The close-ups and cinematography were awesome! Edward Albee’s Opus, for sure!

Another favorite is ‘BUtterfield 8.’ Liz wasn’t scary, just sad. :( And she won her first Oscar for that film. The novel is great; I love anything by John O’Hara. His, ‘Appointment in Samara’ will forever be a favorite.
