RIP.

I was never a big Liz Taylor fan, myself. I thought she was an average talent and never really understood the hype that surrounded her.

Nevertheless, another pop icon from my youth bites the dust.

As a pre-pubescent lad, I had the hots a little for her in National Velvet.
My parents wouldn't let me see Cleopatra in the theater because it may have been a little too risque

I never really had any affinity for her as a celebrity. Most of her work was before my time, and what I have seen didn't impress me. My main impression of her is the bizarre, seemingly inexplicable relationship she had with Michael Jackson. And of course, the carnage of failed marriages she left in her wake.

Part of the overall problem if you ask me. But rest in peace nonetheless. No enmity from here.

Back in the mid-60s you couldn't open a newspaper or magazine without reading about "Diz and Lick" ... I mean "Liz and Dick" .

Supposedly, unpublished photos of Liz Taylor.

I'd forgotten about her close friendship with Monty Clift although I remember hearing about a similar one with Rock Hudson.  Add Michael Jackson and you've got what is called "a fag-hag".

Yes, in her prime, one movie would move a prepubescent straight into adolescence.
She was  a survivor who lived through several incarnations, the first being several stages and ages of hot.   After Richard, she morphed into, ex-star still celebrity, and, what was known in my world as, fag hag.

RIP, Elizabeth

That is sheer poetry Charles. Brings a *sniff* tear to my eye!
 ::rolllaughing:: ::cool:: ::beertoast::
She definitely was a hot-tay back in the day.

ETA: I must live under a freakin' rock. I've never heard the term "fag-hag" until today, and I've heard it about a dozen times so far today in reference to Taylor.

It's sort of unkind, which is why I was a bit hesitant to use it, but it's nevertheless very descriptive for the type of woman who is extremely cozy with, and thus a magnet for, homosexuals.

She was quite beautiful, and I hope the Angels sing her to her rest.

  I thought she had the prettiest eyes ever. The rest of her wasn't too shabby either. RIP.

I suppose if I were born in 1930, and saw something like Little Women when the hormones were raging...

But I wasn't, and I didn't.

RIP

The Last Movie Star

Paglia on Taylor: (http://www.salon.com/entertainment/movies/feature/2011/03/23/camille_paglia_on_elizabeth_taylor)"A luscious, opulent, ripe fruit!"
Camille Paglia considers the "volcanic" Elizabeth Taylor -- and all the unworthy starlets who could never match up

"She wields the sexual power that feminism cannot explain and has tried to destroy. Through stars like Taylor, we sense the world-disordering impact of legendary women like Delilah, Salome, and Helen of Troy. Feminism has tried to dismiss the femme fatale as a misogynist libel, a hoary cliche. But the femme fatale expresses women's ancient and eternal control of the sexual realm."

Liz the departed,
seen on the screen,
never come clean,
to only have farted.
