In Memoriam

Elizabeth Taylor (1932 – 2011)

Elizabeth-Taylor

Two time Best Actress Oscar winner Elizabeth Taylor was a true legend in Hollywood.  Famous for her love of diamonds, timeless beauty, and magnetic eyes, infamous for her many weddings and love affairs, revered for her humanitarian causes and efforts, countless articles have been written about Ms. Taylor throughout her long career.  She was a diva in the real sense of the word.

I remember first seeing her in the Lassie movies when I was still a child, but the most vivid memories come from A Place in the Sun, Father of the Bride, Giant, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Suddenly Last Summer, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf and her appearance in the TV mini-series North and South.

Here’s a nice tribute to her larger than life persona, narrated by none others than her friend and co-star Paul Newman:

Rest in peace dear Liz.
