A legend has passed away. Elizabeth Taylor, died at the age of 79. Too young.

She is a screen legend for sure. I have to say my favorite movie starring her is still National Velvet, followed by The Sandpiper. It is a sad day in Hollywood history for sure. I would loved to have been her wedding planner, or her divorce lawyer. They must both be millionaires today.  |

RIP Liz, loved her in the oldies, she was hot. I would have rather been her Plastic Surgeon!

Me, I'd rather be one of her four kids inheriting all her assets. ;D

Even in the end Elizabeth was one classy lady. Her funeral today was purposely delayed 15 minutes because of her request, "to be fashionably late for her own funeral." I absolutely love how she made her departure and I sent her off with many prayers and thank yous for her contribution in entertaining us and for her wonderful charity work. RIP Elizabeth. You truly deserve to.

"RIP Liz, loved her in the oldies, she was hot. I would have rather been her Plastic Surgeon! "I once heard that plastic surgeons had determined that if they did one more face lift, the bags under her eyes would have nipples and she would be wearing a goatee. She DID maintain her looks right to the end. She was a beautiful woman, no doubt, but I can't imagine how many procedures it took to maintain those looks at her age.

OK, raise your hand if your mother would have called Elizabeth Taylor a slut. I myself would not judge a woman who was so enmeshed in herself and the world of Hollywood as to no doubt have been a victim, no matter how much fame and fortune she achieved. But I certainly would not hold her up as an example to any female ever under my care, tutelage or sphere of influence.
Let Hollywood celebrate their celebrity. I hope the woman eventually found some kind of peace.

Do ya think that being married EIGHT TIMES may indicate some sort of personal conflict or moral defect Dave? Ya DO have to hand it to her. She DID keep trying to get it right. |

Give her an A for effort! More conflict than moral defect. We're all morally defective, I suppose. Well .. I know I am! I don't like to speak ill of anyone. But the national fascination with the woman in life and now her death seems to me lamentable. Rosa Parks should have received as much attention. |

Liz was one of the first living Barbie Dolls, more plastic than real. That's exactly what actresses and actors get paid for. They probably wouldn't interest us if they were much like us, exceptions to the rule, All in the Family, Maude, Barny Miller and shows like that.

You are correct as usual Dave. More a conflict than defect, and YES, I have to admit to many moral defects myself, especially in my younger days.
You are also correct in your assessment that Rosa Parks should have received such attention. Rosa Parks actually stood for something besides attractive skin stretched over a set of bones.
Sadly, Hollywood has always been noted for producing shattered dreams, and conflicted lives. Something about fame and the lifestyle of the rich and famous, seems to breed unhappiness and such things as addiction. Today Hollywood produces a new generation of conflicted individuals like Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan.

Dave, it is what it is in Hollywood and we the public have always enjoyed all that goes along with the movie stars. We have all enjoyed what Hollywood puts out and without these stars there would be nothing. Morally we don't have to give them any credit for their personal lives as you stated but they rightfully deserve credit for giving us so many wonderful, classic movies that we have all enjoyed throughout the years and will continue to do so. Besides, I ain't one to throw any stones when I wasn't always morally right either, especially in my younger years. In Elizabeth case, as in many more stars, there is nothing wrong for praising them for their contribution in the entertainment field. Elizabeth along with her contribution in giving us so many movies and many classic was also a hugh contributor to many charities and a fore runner in the Aids movement when it was being ignored by all. I have no problem honoring a woman as she is laid to rest who was not only a great movie star but also a wonderful humanitarian to her fellow man.
