Those pics…..just beautiful……
Loved her in “Giant”. Hope she is reuniting up there with her co-stars Rock Hudson and James Dean.
Butterfield 8. One of my favorites. So Hollywood class dies away and we are left with Lilos.
I enjoyed Perfect Couples – while Olivia Munn was my least favourite of the cast, I found it quite light and funny. Too bad. All the shows I like this year are getting cancelled. Shout out to Off the Map!!
My personal favorites: “A Place in the Sun” and “Giant”.
loved her in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof with Paul Newman. the two of them had about as much Chemestry as him and his widow Joanne Woodward did. she lost her first oscar nomination to Woodward on March 26th 1958 and they shared a birthday February 27th
@S: I agree. Boo! The show was quite hilarious and very much like watching your own life as a couple! Why didn’t they just replace Olivia Munn? Actually, I think as the annoying female counterpart of the obnoxious couple, she was quite good. A natural!
What a face she had! So beautiful. Haven’t seen many of her films, but want to now.
Aw, poor Olivia Munn! 😀
These are good links today esp the creepy breast feed baby thing and the Jessica Alba one. I actually thought the Jessica Alba link was boring but that is the thing I don’t get. She is the most boring person in the world so why is she doing photo shoots for Harper’s? She is a budget Alyssa Milano and Alyssa Milano is pretty budget.
RIP Dame Elizabeth! 🙁
Oh….they just showed a clip from “The Last Time I saw Paris”…forgot about that movie she did with Van Johnson. It was a real tearjerker!
My fav ET role is Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf she is terrifying and magnetc in that role
she was the epitome of beauty in her time, compare her to what we have today sweatpants and uggs..meh
I loved her in so many movies. As a horse crazy girl, National Velvet was just my favorite movie. I remember her violet, beautiful eyes. Indeed, the last screen goddess of old Hollywood. I downloaded the sample of Furious love this AM after the other thread…must read. I know I’ll want the book, what a life. I remember being a kid, but hearing about the marriages and her jewels! RIP Elizabeth!
PS-remember that thread about Kim K not dancing at the Prince concert? My hubby surprised me two nights ago with tix, not quite in the VIP section, but really close and it was the best, most amazing show ever. EVERYONE shook their thing all night! Legendary performer-get thee to a show if you can!!! And he played the all for 2 1/2 hours in high heels, we all bow to the funkstar in the high heels. What’s my name?
a remarkable woman.
hopefully, she and burton have hooked up and are already squabbling….
with montgomery clift and rock hudson off to the side, enjoying the show.
RIP
I hate to disrupt this online tribute to a beautiful woman but now its being reported that the antigay “church” is going to protest at her funeral. I hope they do because there will be real reprecussions.
May she rest in peace. Liz is a icon that will be dearly missed. Whoever gets all her fabulous jewels is one lucky camper!
I love The Taming of the Shrew with Richard Burton, you just know that is what their life was like.
We lost a real beauty and lovley lady today.
Brunettes have really that little extra something.
Elyzabeth Taylor,
Vivien leigh,
Ava Gardner,
Heidy Lamar,
Giene Tierney,
Nathalie Wood.
Those star’s had that magnetic overwhelming beauty.
My favourites of Elizabeth :
A place in the sun
Giant
Suddenly Last Summer
Who is afraid of Virginia Wolf
My cousin Leslie was named after Elizabeth’s character in “Giant”. What a movie!
I used to think that period of time was when she was the most beautiful, but then I look at her pictures and realize that she had several phases in her life where she was most beautiful, just in different ways.
Oh, how she lived. Oh how she loved!
May her legacy and lust for life live on…

She was/is an icon; don’t make them like that anymore. I always believed that if Mike Todd hadn’t died in that plane crash it would have been the last marriage she ever had. Beautiful woman, talented actress, humanitarian. Perfect? No, by any means. But worthwhile human being, that’s for sure.
I actually know someone who has the movie trailer she used during filming Cleopatra; still has the bed in it, wigs on stands, decked out, all that. Pretty interesting in a time capsule kinda way.
RIP, Elizabeth.
In the end she was an old lady who died like so many of our loved ones. The difference is our loved ones weren’t celebrities who went through marriages, ruining people’s lives, to satisfy a void in their lives. She wasn’t a god just a very insecure woman whose success was being
famous” mostly for her beauty and the known drama in her life. She was not the greatest actress – often her acting was flat. Let’s remember the true heroes in our lives that care about US! Not strangers, like Liz Taylor.
@Rita: If the Westover Baptists picket her funeral there is going to be hell to pay.
OMG she was really really REALLY Gourgeous!! Stunning!! Flawless!!
No one in Holywood has been or will be as beautiful & classy as she was…
Now there are just plastic & superficial dolls…
She’s a queen!
Hope she can be in heaven enjoying God’s company =)
Rest in peace*
She is gonna need one gigantic headstone:
Elizabeth Taylor Hilton Wilding Todd Fisher Burton Burton Warner Fortensky
@ Miss Marie: WHY SO BITTER? Yikes!
Bless her heart. I’m shocked to hear this and very sad. You’ll be missed, great lady!
She was just so lovely. What a loss. 🙁
What a life. What a legacy.
Statement from Debbie Reynolds :
“She was the most glamorous and sensuous star of our generation. No one could equal Elizabeth’s beauty and sexuality. Women liked her and men adored her — my husband included — and her love for her children is enduring.
She was a symbol of stardom. Her legacy will last…. I just talked to her two weeks ago. We just chatted. I said, ‘Getting old is not easy, is it? Being ill is very difficult.’ We talked a little bit about being sick and she said how hard it was and that she was pleased I called. We reminisced a little bit. She was very sick, and I’m pleased that she can be out of her pain now…. People always assume you’re going to carry a grudge, but I don’t do that. We passed through that with time.”

Hey Miss Marie, you know you don’t need to divide your heroes. You can multiply and add them…
@nnn: I have nothing but admiration for Reynolds for the way she handled her divorce. She and Taylor had been friends before the big split and they were able to pick up their friendship afterwards. I remember reading a few years ago that the two of them would meet up and have some good laughs together about Eddie Fisher.
I loved Father of The Bride, that Dame Liz Taylor played opposite Spencer Tracy.
God Bless and RIP Dame Elizabeth Taylor! 🙁
Love her and am very pissed that those freaks are planning to protest her funeral. I wish I lived in CA to counter protest them, maybe with a sign that reads “God Hates Douchebags who picket funerals” or just run them down with my car! Being an AIDS activist is a good thing, assholes.
Beyond gorgeous. I can’t think of any star more beautiful than her in my lifetime.
RIP Liz. White Diamonds forever.
RIP Liz T!
I love the pic of Reese a little blitzed!
Also, Sucker Punch does look truly awful but I believe the Hamm Dong is in it? That’s what I will go to see!!
I thought the peeing baby dolls were bad, breast feeding baby dolls are…bizarre. I cannot imagine a little girl wanting this as a birthday gift or something.
She had the most beautiful face ever, I think.
My movie favorites: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Suddenly Last Summer, Butterfield 8, Father of the Bride, Giant, and Elephant Walk.
What a stunning woman she was RIP
Sucker Punch does look bad… but have any of you seen the trailer for Hobo with a Shotgun yet?
Yes, its a real movie now , its one of the fake trailers from Grindhouse.
Her films are great and especially “Cat on a hot tin roof”-that’s the best adaptation I’ve seen so far. Taylor and Burton are unforgetable. The rest of her husbands mean nothing to me.
ET was gorgeous! Now I’m going to watch one of her movies today in memorium.
So which ET movie is the best???
what a beautiful woman. RIP!

Room for Debate;Is it Harder to be a Celebrity Now?

Amazingly beautiful … I always had such a girl crush on the woman … she was too flawless for words and that was back in the end when stars didn’t jack up their faces. I loved her in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf” … the passion and chemistry and hate between her and Richard Burton … I’ve yet to see it in a modern film with the stars of today. We get so much bland acting covered up by CGI …
Megan Fox looks like her.
