RIP 2011 - Page 14

I'm sad about Taylor as well. She was a great actress with many amazing roles. My favorite films of hers: A Place in the Sun; Suddenly Last Summer; Cat on a Hit Tin Roof; and Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf. That's a lot of really great films and roles for one actress!

RIP Liz.

I've never really thought she was a great actress (or even particularly good) but she was a great movie star and, frankly, that's a lot less common.

I could probably agree with you there. Meryl Streep is a great actress.

She was so wonderful at Halloween Horror Nights in 2009.

I posted my thoughts here

I agree with everyone, she was a great beauty, could sometimes be a great actress. I feel she eclipsed her beauty and her fame with her humanitarian work with AmFar and The Elizabeth Taylor Aids Foundation (and probably many more charities I know nothing about).

It's cliched, she was one of the last great movie stars, when it meant something being a "movie star."

She was earthy and she also had a lot of class.

Excellent tribute, Snowflake.

I got to see her and Richard Burton in Noel Coward's Private Lives at the Wilshire Theatre. It was opening night (I have no recollection of how I scored tickets), and it was like being at the Oscars. The place was packed with celebrities, and, despite the cranky reviews, I recall everyone, including Liz and Dick, having a rollicking good time.

Sad cheese, indeed. When Michael Jackson died, I felt worse for Liz than I did anyone in the Jackson family. After Richard Burton, it seemed that Michael truly was her soul-mate.

A friend just alerted me to this photography exhibit at LACMA, Elizabeth Taylor in Iran through June. I hope to squeeze it in during the May visit. Looks like some gorgeous photos.
