Oh, how sad. She lived a glorious and passion filled life. RIP, Elizabeth Taylor.

I was so shocked when I read this today

Got a huge lump in my throat that won't seem to go away. Such sad news. I know her health had been going down for a while, but I still wasn't expecting this.

She was truly a beautiful person all around. The nicest compliment I ever recived being told I had eyes like hers (which I really don't, but they thought I did, and I've always been so awestruck by Liz that what they said has stuck with me for years)... may she rest in peace.

Her and Montgomery Clift, those upclose screenshots of their faces side by side- most gorgeous onscreen couple ever. "A Place In The Sun" will always be my favorite Liz film, right at the peak of her beauty before Hollywood jaded her and her health became a turbulent rollercoaster ride. And then of course Monty is in it...what a star.

I'm sad but also relieved she won't have to suffer. She did a lot of good in this world, and the mark she left is etched forever.

Fave Liz quote: "You can't cry on a diamond's shoulder, and diamonds won't keep you warm at night. But they're sure fun when the sun shines."

Icon.

I had to do a double take when I woke up and read this on my homepage this morning. It's words you never thought you'd see or hear.

Elizabeth Taylor has always been my favorite "old Hollywood" actress. You see Marilyn Monroe praised and admired ad nauseum but Liz is my #1. Such a beautiful person inside and out.

Favorite movie? Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Her and Paul Newman were stunningly gorgeous.

RIP, Elizabeth.

I've never seen any Elizabeth Taylor movies. I'm not really into movies, per se. But it's still sad when somebody so many people love passes away.

She was born with a mutation. She grew a double set of eyelashes. It really helped her eyes stand out.

Film critic Armond White is a good friend of mine. This is what he tweeted after hearing and reflecting upon the sad news:

Quote:

Imagine the 20th Century without Elizabeth Taylor, the ideal of beauty, passion and humanity.

Exactly! She's been in poor health pretty much my entire life, so I'd just expected her to keep trucking on for a couple more decades! I certainly would have expected Zsa Zsa to have passed before Liz considering her current situation

I think she won't be too far along. She was hospitalized again today

And Idk, this news really didn't shock me. I spent the whole week last week at my job in Midland at a grocery store and all the tabliods had god awful pictures of Liz and talking about her failing health. I could just tell she didn't have much longer.

This made me so sad when I found out this morning. What a legendary woman.

It amazes me that Zsa Zsa has gotten this far, to be honest with you. How many times has this woman been given the last rites, exactly? She must be as stubborn as my great Grandmother. She was given them three times, twice leaving the hospital a couple of days later, obviously the third time being the real deal. But when you see pictures of Zsa Zsa in the papers and other media lately she looks barely full of any life.

This was indeed sad news. My favorite movies of hers were Butterfield 8, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (she was a great Maggie) and Raintree County and A Place in the Sun, both with Monty Clift.

She did so much in the fight against AIDS. She will be missed.
