She certainly is/was a beautiful woman.
Well OK for that, but I promise you all here and my kids too, after I die, my money will not be going to AIDS research.

She was a beautiful young woman, and I enjoyed some of her movies... notably
Giant.
The real reason I hate that she'll die is that we'll all be subjected to countless hours of TV treating this like it's the greatest tragedy of all time. While I don't think it will surpass the Princess Diana level of media-induced hysteria, it will certainly leave John-John's in the dust.
I think it's a toss up as to who was more beautiful in her prime. Either Liz Taylor or Audrey Hepburn. No doubt about who aged the most gracefully, however. Hepburn by a mile.

Liz lived a pretty fast lifeAnd you know that, huh?

I never thought of Audrey Hepburn as beautiful, more cute to my way of thinking but I'm a woman, lol.
I hate the California car chases, on and on and on!!

I always like Liz mostly because she married every man she fell in love with:)

She is probably the last class act in Hollywood...........I wouldn't call her a "class act," with her eight(?) marriages, drug addiction etc, but she is a throwback to a bygone era. Someone recently observed how the stars in the old movies were adults, while the current crop are universally idiot children. Liz Taylor, like her contemporaries, was an adult. There are none like her, or them, today.
To: nmh
Does anyone know if she is a Christian?<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
She converted to Judaism when married to Eddie Fisher. Don't know if she continued observing it after Eddie.

4) Eddie Fisher (May 12, 1959 - March 6, 1964) (divorced)
5) Richard Burton (March 15, 1964 - June 26, 1974) (divorced)
6) Richard Burton (2nd marriage) (October 10, 1975 - July 29, 1976) (divorced)
7) Senator John Warner (December 4, 1976 - November 7, 1982) (divorced)
8) Teamster construction-equipment operator Larry Fortensky

And the ones she always says she loved the most are the two who died years ago! Had they lived she might not be saying that, lol.

We can't fault her for trying.

I've never been an Taylor fan- and I don't know if I would ever call her a class act.
You think Angelina and Brad are big in the tabloids? What Taylor is remembered for is stealing Eddie Fisher - who was Debbie Reynolds husband - her best friend. Debbie and Eddie went out of their way to comfort Liz after the death of her husband. She soon learned no good deed goes unpunished.
Debbie had two little kids and it devastated her and the family. Liz dumped him a year later. Carrie Fisher ended up with drug problems and mental illness. Bipolar has a strong correlation with losing your father at a young age.
Liz was once one of the most hated women in America. When she practically died of pneumonia, people felt sorry for her and forgot how they hated her. But she was a true homewrecker, and Eddie Fisher was a creep too.

after seeing how Eddie Fisher wound up, I think they both realized what a loser he was.
Lol!!!
To: veronica
That's a beautiful photo of her. Judging by the hair and dress styles, it was probably snapped sometime in the early 1950's.

She wants to be bured next to Richard Burton. I thought she claimed that Mike Todd was the love of her life, but admittedly, I quit following her career years ago.
