On paper you’re absolutely right that Turner should have been a good choice. Unfortunately, her partner was the incredibly nerdy, undertalented actor Bill Irwin. What a pair! No chemistry, no nothing.

You never saw her out without being dressed and made up like a star

Never! I was thinking that this morning. Even when she came out of hospital after brain tumor surgery, she looked beautiful, close-cropped gray hair and all. She only had to flash that gorgeous smile...

I remember the legend was that she always did her own make-up. I was fascinated especially by her perfect, arching eyebrows. LOL. Back in the '60s, I probably tried to do the same kind of make-up as La Taylor.

‘_______Hagen Daz ice cream in her coffee.’

We love ice cream in coffee every now and then!
I first saw my spouse do this years ago.
So we’re in good company!

“The Taming of the Shrew”. Absolutely! She and Burton were hilarious in that one!

That’s because blue is not really a color for the eyes, it’s an absence of pigment. The structure of the iris causes alterations on light refraction, not too different of why sky looks blue. It’s called “Tyndall scattering” (https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Tyndall_effect).

Farewell to a Hollywood Super-star who captured something quintessentially American in the fast-fading vibrations of the 20th Century big screen.

No, no no.,,,
if Freepers “destroy” someone like Newt Gingrich, it’s hardly because he was ‘divorced’! It’s all the perceived
side issues like abandoning his ill wife, all those nasty little things that make you question his character.
Liz Taylor , regardless of what you think of her eight marriages, had the great good quality of standing by her friends, standing up for her friends, no matter what the world thought of them. She did it with the self-destructive Monty Clift, Michael Jackson, and most touchingly of all, Rock Hudson, exactly the way the great Doris Day did.
I got quite sad today hearing this news.
Liz Taylor was a born outsider, ironically, while also being one of the most famous women and actresses in the world.

If you can't live up to the biggest vow you make in your life, how can we trust you with anything else?

You have picked the EXACT scene that made me shiver the first time I saw it, and even makes me shiver every time I remember it. As I remember, there was a sweet bird sound in the background during this dreamlike few moments of film/
A PLACE IN THE SUN is TRULY a great film.

But still how did she wind up hanging around such 'wheels off' people?

Gordo, is that you? :-)

TK - do this: Put these brackets in front of and at the end of your link < (at the beginning and > at the end.

Here is how you can post a graphic -

img (space) src=http://portal.aolcdn.com/p/images3/1-elizabeth-160az03222011

brackets before the ‘img’ and brackets after the last part of the link ‘_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _011>

It should post your graphic. Good luck!

Bye, darlin’ Lizzie... Thanks for many years of wonderful films. You will be missed. But your star will shine for a long, long time.

You were one hell of a classy lady.

RIP.
