RIP Liz Taylor

[Meowi]

Although I have not seen any of her movies, I still feel sad as I know a great icon has passed. Liz was one of a kind, and a beautiful woman.
As I cam onto The Ledge, I was shocked to hear this.

Wow, I always hated RC with a passion but perhaps I should give it another go. I loved Monty in it, as he could rarely do anything wrong. Flawless actor.

The other films you mentioned are wonderful. My favorites of hers are "A Place In The Sun," "Giant," and "Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?" Elizabeth Taylor + Richard Burton= all kinds of greatness.

To think Liz wa in James Dean's last picture before his traggic death. I'm not a big LT fan but her best picture for me was Cleopatra...a classic.

Part of my liking Raintree County is a sentimental attachment -- much of it was filmed in Kentucky. Monty was a great actor -- a little underrated, even.

Friends and family of Elizabeth Taylor may get unexpected visitors at her funeral — picketers from the Westboro Baptist Church.

Margie Phelps, daughter of the hate group's leader Fred Phelps, tweeted Wednesday that they would picket Taylor's funeral, most likely because of Taylor's gay friends and humanitarian work against AIDS. Phelps also tweeted several attacks on Taylor, including "RIP Elizabeth Taylor is in hell as sure as you're reading this & getting mad as a wet hen. She should've obeyed God. Too late!"

Taylor was a prominent AIDS activist, starting the American Foundation for AIDS Research after the 1985 death of Rock Hudson. In 25 years, the foundation raised over $100 million.

It's funny, but I always though tolerance was the biggest focal point of mos religions. If she clearly holds that much hate in her heart, then it sound as though she's writing out her own ticket to hell. Not that I believe in it or heaven personally.

Taming of the Shrew and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof are my personal favorites.

an amazing life.
