To Absent Friends - Elizabeth Taylor


I must confess that aura of Elizabeth Taylor was lost on me. Beautiful woman, yes indeed, and someone who was a Superstar in every sense of the word, and in the end, a humanitarian of great note. Still, I cannot recall a single Elizabeth Taylor movie that I ever watched.

However, that can't stop one from mourning her passing.

RIP Liz Taylor.

  1. GMan ... Liz won Oscar for "Butterfield 8" (1960), a lousy movie AND this was a "make-up call" for NOT giving her the award for her '59 film (below) Another Oscar in '66 for "Who's afraid of Virginia Wolff?" (also lousy). Only my opinion, of course, but her 3 best movies were:
    A Place in the Sun (1951)
    Giant (1956)
    Suddenly, Last Summer (1959)

  2. Shame on the both of you!!!!!---you can't recall her yelling at Paul Newman in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof"

    I will be awaiting apologies from the both of you.

  3. On second thought, I do recall seeing a very young Liz in Father of the Bride with Spencer Tracy.

    No apologies.

  4. Actually, Patty, I DO remember her yelling at Newman. I remain shamelessly unapologetic for my preferences.
