Elizabeth Taylor dead at 79.....

[Ben Hogan]

Her flakiness can be attributed to contracting syphilis from Conrad Hilton Jr while still a teen. That was one of the reasons she was a staunch advocate in the fight against AIDS.

And Rock Hudson was one of her closest friends.

As was Mongomery Clift.

I don't think I've ever watched a movie with her in it. Her heyday was long over before I was even born. But when she was young, she was stunningly beautiful. Maybe not as iconic as Marylin, but much hotter IMO.

 

[WoodPeckr]

I always thought her hotter than Marylin

R.I.P. Liz

In her day, she was gorgeous, and yes hotter than Monroe. Piercing eyes that hypnotized you, one of the last big screen legends we had, not many like her.

 

[GPIDEAL]

She will be missed. Younger people should check out the old movies. She was one of the most beautiful stars too. She was the perfect Cleopatra.

 

[WoodPeckr]

Liz was a striking Cleopatra

An absolutely gorgeous woman with talent and grace in her heyday. May she rest in peace.

Too bad she let it all go to pot and her flakiness ruled in the end. If not for this, she'd be remembered on the same level as Greta Garbo, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. Not quite in that league but she certainly earned her place.

she was a legend in cinema

Seems like Markali woke up after a year and started posting again ...

My dad actually met Liz Taylor at Eaton's years ago when she was promoting her perfume, White Diamonds. He was never that big a fan of hers but he said that in person she was absolutely gorgeous and that she had the most beautiful charismatic violet colored eyes.

 

[Rockslinger]

Lindsay Lohan will play Liz in a movie to be shot here in Toronto. Somehow, I can't visualize Lindsay as Liz.

For me, the lingering image is John Belushi as Liz Taylor chowing down on a joint of beef. It's quite possible that she never slept with anyone to whom she wasn't married, but then again, she was married forty-three times.

You need to see "A Place in the Sun" with Elizabeth Taylor. It was filmed in 1953 when she was 18. WOW!! I didn't realize she was THAT HOT!! True story about the murder of a pregnant girl in the Adirondack Mountains. Not much of a movie, although they say it should have won the Academy Award that year for Best Movie. Did I mention she was SMOKIN HOT back then?

Yea and she and Montgomery Clift became very good friends after that movie until his death. She actually saved his life after his car accident driving away from her place.

It was chicken, actually. Liz (Belushi) started choking on the bone while an oblivious Bill Murray continued with the interview.

 

[trod]

One of the most beautiful women to ever grace the earth.

 

[Smash]

Liz was a fine piece of ass in her dayz. Her and Natalie Wood were the only 2 white women that I thought were sexy back in the day.

 

[Sniper Jr.]

Her memory will live on through annually resurrected TERB threads.

Raquel Welch wasn't too shabby IMO, actually was my favourite.

Sounds right, it's three decades since I saw that, and I couldn't find an online clip.
