Re: RIP Liz Taylor
<span style="font-weight: bold">Elizabeth Taylor dies; screen legend was 79</span>
By Adam Bernstein, Wednesday, March 23, 9:10 AM
Elizabeth Taylor, a voluptuous violet-eyed actress who lived a life of luster and anguish and spent more than six decades as one of the world's most visible women for her two Academy Awards, eight marriages, ravaging illnesses and work in AIDS philanthropy, died Wednesday at age 79.
She died surrounded by family members at Cedar-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, ABC News reported, quoting a statement issued by her publicist.
Ms. Taylor’s life offered a mesmerizing series of sagas to rival any movie plot, and they were chronicled by the media since her boost to fame as the enchanting 12-year-old star of “National Velvet” (1944).
By her mid-20s, she had been a screen goddess, teenage bride, mother, divorcee and widow. She endured near-death traumas, and many declared her a symbol of survival — with which she agreed. “I've been through it all, baby,” she once said. “I'm Mother Courage.” -

Re: RIP Liz Taylor
Can't remember a movie she did that I liked...or that stood the test of time. Over-rated in my opinion. Still a big draw at the box office and she was involved in some VERY expensive [at the time] productions. She 'hung 'em up' quite awhile ago. Could it be that her acting ability was about looks rather than substance?
She made a contribution to be sure. But she was certainly NO Marilyn. Nor Bette...or dozens of other with less repuation but way more talent.Comment

Re: RIP Liz Taylor
<span style="font-style: italic">Stand the test of time </span>– maybe or maybe not a debatable concept but for me, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolf” “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” “Butterfield” “Giant” - more than stand the test of time for me. They’re all riveting.
As to Marilyn Monroe – talk about substance vs looks ...
