(CNN) — Actress Elizabeth Taylor urged voters in next week’s Democratic primaries to back Hillary Clinton's White House run, saying in a statement released Friday that the New York senator was “not a flibbertijibbet.”

“It would be magnificent for our country if Senator Clinton won the votes, hearts and minds of the people in Indiana and North Carolina on Tuesday. She’s a brilliant teacher and powerful leader. We all know what she’s about. We know what she isn’t. Senator Clinton is not a flibbertijibbet [sic]. She’s strong,” said Taylor.

“It’s also important for great leaders to have a sense of humor about themselves. The future of our great country rests in the hands of the next president. Who sits in the Oval Office will be determined greatly by the citizens of Indiana and North Carolina. In my heart, I know they will choose wisely and they will choose well.”

The actress and activist is a longtime Clinton supporter who has donated the legal maximum of $4,600 to the senator’s campaign.

In January 2007, Taylor also pointed to Clinton’s toughness...

Had to look twice to make sure it was not Scrappleface. I suppose next she will call Obama a "golliwog".

...her brain is still addled from all those years of alcohol...

I honestly don't see how she could still have a liver. She was one of those who evoked the "she's-as-drunk-as-one-can-get-and-still-stand-up" category.

Scoliosis of the liver is a disease, and like any other disease, some suffer from it and some slip by. ;-)

Still, she is an example of how the old movie stars were so much more beautiful than the ones now. This of how beautiful she was in the movie where Montgomery Clift (understandably) kills Shelley Winters to be with her. Or the one where she wears the white bathing suit on the beach. They don’t make them like that anymore. Or like Ava Gardner or Rita Hayworth or Veronica Lake. In movies where a modern actress imitates an old star, invariably you feel, ‘not even close.’ Why is that?

Liz, you ignorant has-been, don't you realize that Hillary is also, not only a liar's wife, but also a liar herself? Hillary is a thief of silverware. Hillary is an opportunistic pant-suit wearing jilted wife who would be dangerous in the WH. Other than those negative attributions maybe she would qualify for dog catcher of you lovely Hollywood BUT she sure as hell doesn't qualify to be Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces......

The only actress who I thought was at her best when she just kept her mouth shut, didn't move and just posed.

No question about her striking beauty.

... the movie where Montgomery Clift (understandably) kills Shelley Winters ...

There are many like that. And not only actresses.

Gee, I’m dial-up bound. But I saw that movie in about ‘66 and it was around 1973 or so when I met her in person. She was a lot like her role in the movie but really too drunk to be sufficiently articulate to deliver lines. So she came across as acerbic (just plain mean), but near incoherence.
