I'm shocked! shocked I tell you. /s lol

That makes it easy for the OP. All he has to do is show up.

I’m so happy to see so many people up in arms over this jackass Kindred. As always, most freepers show enormous good judgement and taste. RIP, Liz.

Odd, that the thread is surviving :0

I’ve got to admit I don’t know who Elizabeth Taylor is/was. Was she is the Wizard of Oz or something?

[NavyCanDo]

I think she was thee most beautiful young actress ever in Hollywood in her younger years. I did not follow her later career much, and ignored all the trashy gossip stories about her - but she became quite the philanthropist giving untold amounts of time and money for charitable causes. Much more than most others in Hollywood.

[Revolting cat!]

... and for her eyebrows she shall be remembered!

[TADSLOS]

Because Liz Taylor died? Gimme a break.

C'mon dude, it's a sign and wonder, right there in between earthquakes and rumors of wars.

That was Judy Garland. You've never heard of the movie National Velvet with her and Mickey Rooney? How about Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf with Richard Burton? She was totally awesome in that movie.

[aruanan]

That is a question one will never hear from the world's media.

"Did Miss Taylor possessed the RIGHTEOUS perfection that one so desperately needs to stand before Almighty God, one’s Creator and Judge?"

Or this question: "Why do folks, like the writer of the above, think that comments on the deaths of the rich and famous will somehow add gravitas to their message and attract consideration from readers instead of general scorn over their propensity to feed on the dead like opportunistic jackals, buzzards, and hyenas?"

Been living in a cave all your life? My favorite movies with her are...
ELEPHANT WALK
IVANHOE
THE TAMING OF THE SHREW

As for epics, I've seen her CLEOPATRA but prefer THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE with SOPHIA LOREN.

I never liked old movies even when I was a little kid.

[NorthStarStateConservative]

Maybe you should do society a favor and tell Liz personally how you felt about her life.

***I never liked old movies even when I was a little kid.***

If you watch the old movies you will see that many of today’s hot films are nothing but reworked scripts of old movies.

Hollywood has lost it’s ability to imagine.

[steve86]

You’re probably right. My feelings are the same about new movies although I have never seen one.

[Bobalu]

I particularly liked Taylor in "The Sandpiper"

[backslacker]

For all of your feigned piety, using Taylor’s death to climb on your soapbox showed absolutely zero class and no compassion what-so-ever.

He isn't faking it. Liz Taylor's death is an example of how sinful this world has become. True, we are all sinners, but we are NOT all repenters.

Everybody hopes God has forgiven her, but she treasured her sinful nature and tried to compensate with her own brand of righteousness: She went out and did good deeds. God rejects this!

Trust me, if I could, I would have out-sinned Liz Taylor and all the other sinners. But one day God dropped a Bible on my head and I knew I had to choose the sinful life or a better way. Even today, I struggle with sinful thoughts and temptations. But God has clearly shown me which way I must choose. No excuses!
