What a crew........

[oh8eleven]

one of the absolutely most beautiful women... ever
Without a doubt ...
... and a true Hollywood "queen" unlike today's trash.

Well, maybe Mr. Gingrich sorta wants to tell us how to live...via seeking the Oval Office. Miss Taylor...well, she just entertained, sold some perfumes, and gave/raised alot of money for charities.

Why do Obit threads have to turn into public damnings?

Sorry, meant for strider44 whoops

What a beautiful woman. She will now be remembered for her earlier life and films.
I just watched Cat on a Hot Tin Roof for the first time. She and Newman were just amazing to watch!
May she rest in peace.

Gosh! I completely forgot that one and I just saw it the other night on TCM (it was James Dean night). She’s sooooooo beautiful in that and she has such a strong character.

My husband just reminded me that I saw her on stage in “The Little Foxes.” It was not a good production in my opinion but she was wonderful. By far, the best thing in it!

[rockabyebaby]

Really? Was that necessary???

[KansasGirl]

She really was beautiful in that movie.

I've seen several pictures of her eyes that color. I remember when I was a kid, my mom used to tell me that her eyes were violet. I know I've heard that about her other places too. Just don't hear much about violet eyes, but...

Anyway, I've always thought that ET was sort of different. Absolutely beautiful, but...different.

[PennsylvaniaMom]

And she actually could act...take on a written, scripted persona and make it her own.

Cleopatra, yes...but Father of the Bride, Butterfield 8, and one of my absolute favorites ever...Taming of the Shrew.

A rare talent from a rarified time.

Our National Velvet will now be riding the Pie in the Sky!

Rest in Peace, Ms Taylor. I loved that movie, very inspirational to a young girl..and I was so horse-crazy a that time. I didn’t follow her other movies, this is the one that I loved.

She and Burton weren't acting in the Sandpiper either.

Hot stuff.

Shame on you this is a solemn moment but everytime I see that pic it makes me ROTFLMAO! RIP Ms. Tylor, prayers up for the family.

“I’ll take the elegant Sofia Loren, on any day.”

My words exactly . . . Taylor had a particular contempt for the sacrament of marriage and the responsibilities involved.

That being said, there wasn’t a single movie in which she wasn’t radiant.

My brother in law worked at the Beverly Hills Hotel when she was there all the time. He had coffee with her almost everyday. He said at her heaviest she put Hagan Daz ice cream in her coffee. He always said that she was probably one of the nicest people he ever met in Hollywood.

Nice story...

Good idea about the Hagan Daz...:)

I don’t think she ever was the same after Richard Burton passed, that was when she started hanging out with whackos like Michael Jackson.

She was a legend, RIP Elizabeth Taylor.

I believed she went downhill after Richard Burton had passed.
