And yet another Hollywood icon, superstar...legend enters immortality. This morning at 6 AM the news mentioned the passing of Elizabeth Taylor. Perhaps one of the most beautiful faces to ever grace the screen, she died at the age of 79.
My first full length film of hers was CLEOPATRA, a film I saw at the old Stonestown Theatre. On TV I saw one of her films, Doctor Faustus, in which she co-starred with her then husband, Richard Burton.
She was an amazing actress, but more important, a great role model in social causes. She donated and supported AIDS related foundations.
Her life was often ridiculed, scandalized, talked about. I don't think she ever uttered anything bad about the people who surrounded her, especially in Hollywood.
I know that she had a familiar face and it will be missed, not only by Hollywood, but her many adoring fans.
She was adept in all forms of drama, but she made the world laugh in an episode with Lucille Ball and the infamous diamond given to her by Richard Burton.
Rest in peace, dear one.
