Life will end for all of us, live with that in mind.

Taylor reportedly cancelled her annual Easter party to plan her funeral.

Sounds like a person with too much time left. Maybe a farewell fragrance tour will be part of the pre-funeral.

It seems she's been at "death's door" for about three decades now...her various maladies seem to pop up a couple of times a year.

Like Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable, John Wayne, and Paul Newman, to name a few, Liz Taylor is one-of-a-kind, an icon. I don't think we have many stars of her caliber today. Her passing will be very sad. Certainly no actress has ever been a bigger movie star.

She was still pretty awesome in "Cleopatra." No one had Liz's eyes. What a rotten judge of husbands, though.

Ms Taylor won her first Oscar in 1961 for the film Butterfield 8 ...

Her Oscar for 'Butterfield 8' was considered more of a sympathy vote ... Taylor had just recovered from her first life threatening malady and was still convalescing at the time of the Academy Award.

You got it! Those violet eyes were captivating.

She was "hot" in lots of movies, if you like her type (I do).

But she was also a really good actresss when she had the right material.  Cat was one such role.  The material doesn't stand up 100% by today's standards, but she did an amazing job wiith it.  And the stuff she did in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" was remarkable.  Disturbing, but remarkable.

She also had quite a career as a child actress.

It was once said "it's all about the eyes". This first began when she was a child in National Velvet, a horseracing film.

She was a star at a young age and hanging around Hollywood perverted her values. Hanging around with all those queer movie stars I believe she became a fag hag. Perhaps the fruit men she hung around with were easier for her to talk with and she didnt have to compete with them as she did the slut wannabee star women.

She didnt have much of a family life. She lived in a fantasy world .

Definitely one of the worlds most beautiful women at one time.

Congestive heart failure at her age is literally a death sentence. She'll be gone by the end of the year, for sure.

But with all that plastic surgery her body will never decompose. Maybe they can stuff her and put her in Madame Tussaud's

"The Oscar winner, 74, is believed to be bedridden in her Bel Air, California, home. Taylor reportedly cancelled her annual Easter party to plan her funeral. "

I think it's sort of wierd Liz Taylor, (who converted to Judaism when she married Mike Todd), has annual Easter parties.

You are right. The Hollyweird crowd today stinks to high heaven, and have zero class with their leftist political grandstanding.

She's broken her back about as often as she's been married.

Wondering if there's a correlation?

"Liz is inching closer to death every day and she knows it," a friend said.

So are you and I. But I do wish her well...she's an amazing actress.
