I Will Miss You, Elizabeth...

I think we are all saddened by the death of Elizabeth. We loved watching her on the screen and hearing about her private life. More than that she was a caring, compassionate woman who stood by her beliefs and causes. I am so glad that her children could all be around her, at the time of her passing. This is one of my favorite photos of Elizabeth, sans makeup... What a perfect beauty she was.
The first love of her life, Mike Todd and their baby Liza...

And the second, Richard Burton in a scene from "The Sandpiper", my favorite Taylor film.
We have lost our last great movie star. RIP, beautiful Elizabeth.

    I was a HUGE fan of her both on and off screen! We've lost a legend today.

    I can't believe how hard Elizabeth's death has hit me. She is really the last of the great stars. What a career she had. I must admit, I relate mostly to her as a child actress. I think that her life after Mike Todd was just a sad one and she was forever trying to fill the void he left for her. So, in her honor I am watching National Velvet. She once said that Velvet was the role closest to her heart.

    Lots of love,
    Susan and Bentley

    Yes, we will miss her so, the last icon from the Golden Age of Hollywood. I treasure so much the movie I have: "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof", where she looks like a queen of gorginess, (I just made up this word for her) with also gorgeous Paul Newman...WHAT A COUPLE!!! May God keep her soul.
    Thank you for sharing this great cs of her.

    Wonderful tribute to an amazing star from the past. I think my favorite Taylor film, was Mogambo.

    hmmm, I see eyeliner and probably some mascara too. (isn't that make-up?)
    But yes! She was a beautiful woman!
