I think Elizabeth Taylor was the most beautiful woman in the world.

She loved her children and they loved her in return - that is a mark of a beautiful person - inside and out. She was flawed as all of us are, but she did bring brightness and excitement into our worlds. Another true cinema great gone from us. She is free from pain and resting in peace. She will be missed.

Hitizen:

A term coined by Vendome circa December 20010.

Used only as the highest compliment to describe US citizen women of extraordinary beauty that any man, even the blind and unconscious, could stare at, dreamily, for hours while finding new aspects of their beauty in much the same way one might stare at a work of art in a museum.

In this case, God’s hand can be clearly seen in creating one of life’s enduring distractions of heavenly beauty.

Got caught up in describing Hitizen:

The first part should read:

The only big disappointment I had was “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolfe?”. I guess it was over mine and Hubby’s heads.......great acting but I could never quite understand the meaning of the movie. (I’m dense you know)... but NOBODY could have played Cleopatra but her. Memorable movie to be sure.

After browsing some photos online this one caught my eye. Looks like it was taken in the 1960s although maybe the 50s.

Jesus taught that there would be “neither marriage nor giving in marriage” in the Kingdom of Heaven. That’s sort of a relief.

Yes, Catherine Zeta-Jones by far the better choice.

Even Eddie Fisher. He died in September.

Yes, she really did have violet eyes. She went to my mom’s best friend’s high school, though of course she was rarely there, already being a movie star. But she would show up for important events, and she was apparently far more breathtaking in person than even the photos at the time. With real violet eyes.

To be honest, I didn’t notice her eyes right away. Her curves caught my attention first, plus her face.

....action movies that require little acting...

Angelina of the pneumatic lips is of course, free to turn them down, as I am sure Liz would have done. Instead, whe has marketed herself (or been marketed) as a role model for trailer trash.

Take a walk through Wal-Mart. See any young women emulating Liz' grooming and public demeanor?

"The Last Movie Star" is very apropos. She was one of the last bigger than life stars. She truly was one of the most beautiful actress' Hollywood has ever known. While she was a tragic figure in later life, the Liz Taylor of the 50's and 60's had no equal in beauty or talent. Comparing her to actress' today is a waste of time. Her performances in 'Virgina Woolf', 'Butterfield 8' and 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof', are all among the greatest on film. She never be forgotten.

Eternal rest, grant unto her, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her; May she rest in peace. Amen.

And natural, I might add. At least she grew into them somewhat from her Hackers days when she was about in her late teens.

I think Elizabeth Taylor was the most beautiful woman in the world. She had been sick for many years and now she is at rest. Prayers go up for the family. RIP beautiful lady.

Amen.
