Stipulating you are to be 15 minutes late to your own funeral, that posers is a true DIVA.

Damn right. She could teach the wannabees a thing or two even though she's gone.

She should have been blessed with another ten years. Great actress and a great person. She will be missed.

Whoa! Liz Taylor and Geraldine Ferraro in the same week?!? Crazy

I'm starting to think deaths are just coincidences that happen every other day. I'm doubting that death in threes thing especially in the public eye. RIP to Geraldine Ferraro by the way.

Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in Hampstead, London, on Feb. 27, 1932, to art dealer Francis Taylor and Sara, a former stage actress.

Her unique beauty inspired her mother to put her into show business, and by age 3 Elizabeth was taking ballet lessons. "I never could kick up my heels like other kids; there were too many restraints," Taylor wrote in her 1988 memoir Elizabeth Takes Off. "My life was overscheduled and overdisciplined."

Sticky couldv'e at least stayed in place for a week, you think? After the 10th TCM tribute... maybe?

In newly revealed love letters, a 17 year-old Elizabeth Taylor shared her dreams with her fiance before later agonizing about returning an engagement ring when the relationship soured.

The handwritten letters are from 1949, when Taylor was engaged to William Pawley Jr, who was in his 20s and the son of a wealthy American businessman and ambassador [to Brazil].

There are 66 letters from Taylor and 20 letters from her mother, who told Pawley to leave her daughter alone when the engagement ended, said Bobby Livingston, vice president of sales and marketing at RR Auction.

The auction was scheduled before Taylor died and the items had been expected to sell for $25,000 to $30,000, but that figure is likely to rise, Livingston said.

^^^^ I hate those things, especially in the age of the internet. They're a huge waste of natural resources and they tend to only put money in the pocket of the publisher(s). Seems like a pretty obvious cash in on the dead persons fame. I didn't used to feel that way, but as I've got older I've just grown to really, REALLY hate them.

"Tribute" magazine, opportunistic? Maybe.

You do have people who collect memorabilia so they may not look at as chessy. They have an Elizabeth Tribute App for sale ($1.99) over at iTunes. Who would've ever thought.... I didn't.

Don't know if this was already mentioned. But P paid tribute 2 the great one at one of his Carolina shows.

Warhol Painting Up For Auction

March 30, 2011

A portrait of Hollywood actress Elizabeth Taylor by Andy Warhol will go under the hammer in New York on May 12 and is expected to fetch as much as $30 million, auctioneers Phillips de Pury said.

"Liz #5" was painted in 1963 and is "a dazzling tribute to Elizabeth Taylor," the auction house said in a statement.

"Liz #5 is a pristine gem," said Michael McGinnis, head of contemporary art at Phillips de Pury. "It is Warhol at his very best with a perfect screen, glowing colors, and impeccable provenance. She is classic yet every bit as cutting edge as she was when Warhol painted her nearly 50 years ago."

According to the company, the portrait "embodies the most important themes of Warhol's oeuvre including celebrity, wealth, scandal, sex, death and Hollywood.

"The epitome of old-world Hollywood style and glamour, Liz Taylor was one of Warhol's most famous inspirations alongside Marilyn Monroe and Jackie Kennedy."

The painting is estimated to be worth $20-30 million.

British actor Hugh Grant sold a Warhol portrait of Taylor in New York in 2007 for $23.6 million, several times what he paid for the work.
