Twitter BReaking news - RIP Elizabeth Taylor.

Several news organizations confirming.

My vote for the role in which she looked most beautiful: as Rebecca in Ivanhoe:

May she rest in peace.

TIP - a great beauty and a great actress.

A gorgeous woman and fine actress.

Prayers for her family.

When God made this broad, He broke the mold. Farewell, Liz. Man I feel old.

RIP

I remember going to see Cleopatra as a 16 year old. We had to get advance tickets and drive to Des Moines to see it. The show was interrupted a few times with a flickering screen. When we came out of the theater and drove home (about 50 miles), we could see the effects of a severe Iowa summer storm.

But what a movie and what an actress. My favorite movie of hers and Burton's is probably "The Taming of the Shrew".

The technical term is “violet”.

That Snookie comment was insensitive. But what you just said?

Way outta line.

And don’t forget “Giant”. What a cast that film had. Elizabeth Taylor is the kind of actress I think of when the words “movie star” are uttered. Such a classic beauty, and a very fine artist.

she was a rare beauty when she was young - Yes.



RIP, Dame Elizabeth

Taming of the Shrew

Why does she get a pass? Wasn’t she married about 8 times? Can’t comment on her morals but freepers can destroy someone like Newt Gingrich because he’s been divorced?

How about this: she's dead and never fancied herself presidential material.

[atc23]

Snookie? huh? Are you drunk? - Both of youse guys.

A couple of my favorite movies are A Place in the Sun, and Cleopatra.

There is a scene near the end of "A Place in the Sun" where Montgomery Clift has a memory of he and Elizabeth embracing. It is a haunting soft-focus close-up, and I have never seen any actress more beautiful on the screen, ever.

It was a different time and a different place, and there will never be another Elizabeth Taylor.

I don’t remember seeing a nude LT anywhere....classy indeed.

Butterfield 8........wow wow. Beautiful woman.
RIP

Liz Taylor never had aspirations of running for President. And yes, that makes a difference.
