It's so tough not to place so much emphasis on "beauty" when a person looks as Elizabeth Taylor did. The fact though that she had short legs, and Richard Burton would tell her so I mean that makes it even more unreal. I recall as a kid my mom saying 'They say Elizabeth has ugly hands, but I'd take those hands alright".
It's weird my gentleman friend stopped by a minute ago and thought my mom bit the dust because I was crying. I can't believe I would shed a tear for someone I didn't know in real life.
I was shocked and saddened when I got up and saw the headlines.
Elizabeth Taylor was truly a Hollywood Legend.
I immediately went to the TV and ordered up Cleopatra. That is my favorite movie of hers. It was where she met and fell in love with Richard. And the stars that were in it.
Being its 4 hours long, I watched the first 2 and a half and will wait for DH to get home to watch the rest.
She was beauty personified. The thing is, with me, she was real. There was no botox, no plastic surgery, no cosmetic procedures back in her day. You either had it or you didn't. And baby, she had it!!!
She lived a whirlwind of a life and enjoyed every minute of it. I remember a couple years back, she was fighting a problem with her back again and still went swimming with the dolphins (or was it sharks? lol).
RIP Elizabeth Taylor - you gave the world love, laughter and true beauty.
The 24-hour film tribute, which is set to begin at 6 a.m. (ET/PT) on Sunday, April 10, will include both of Taylor's Oscar-winning performances -- "Butterfield 8" (1960) at 8 p.m. (ET) and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (1966) at 10 p.m. (ET).
The tribute will also feature the screen legend in "Lassie Come Home" (1943) and "National Velvet" (1944); the comedies "Father of the Bride" (1950) and "Father's Little Dividend" (1951); the historical epic "Ivanhoe" (1952); and the dramas "Giant" (1956), "Raintree County" (1957) and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1958).
One of a kind indeed. I loved her.Look how beautiful this picture is. Striking.
