Elizabeth Taylor dies....

A great star passes on but a legend lives….

Hollywood siren Elizabeth Taylor died Wednesday with her closest family by her bedside at the age of 79.  She had been hospitalized the last 6 months for congestive heart failure.

A two-time Oscar winner, Taylor captured the headlines for more than a decade with her films, her multiple marriages but most of all, for her humanitarian work, especially in the field of AIDs.

She was a striking beauty who broke into fame at the early age of 12 with NATIONAL VELVET.  She ended her career playing roles of a very different kind, the uncontrollable foul-mouthed ***censored***.  But these are the roles that I admire her in and my personal three favourite films are:

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Reflections in a Golden Eye and
Secret Ceremony.

Best put is by Taylor’s son, Michael Wilding, who said in a statement that his mother “was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humour, and love.”
