That's a helluva line-up.

I'd've put A Place in the Sun or Suddenly Last Summer in place of Father's Little Dividend, though. That one's rather weak in comparison.

See. What the hell were they thinking? Suddenly Last Summer is one of the best movies! Maybe old Hepburn stole the show, but Liz did a hell of a job, too.

I remember one of the most beautiful pictures of Liz is when she was around 18-22. I saw it in one of my daddy's photography magazines from either the 50's or 60's. She had on this white eyelet pinafore/camisole with baby blue ribbon running through the eyelets at the bodice of the dress. It is one of the most stunningly beautiful photographs of her I have ever seen. I tried to find it on the web, but I didn't see it.

One of the most beautiful women of the times I always felt she was way hotter than Marilyn Monroe. The woman had class and style like no other....she's the last of the classic area of actresses isn't she???

oops.

[Edited 3/23/11 11:19am]

Yep I too thought she was hotter than Marilyn. That dark hair and light eyes combo is always a winner. With the most classic facial features.

That pic in post 68 IS NOT Liz.

Lauren Bacall, Joan Fontaine, Olivia DeHaviland and Deanna Durbin and Luise Rainier are still alive, as is Shirley Temple.

I'm not sure who it is, but it looks like one of the photos Kevyn Aucoin did the make-up for.

In one of her last interviews in 2010, she noted:

I'm still heartbroken that Richard [Burton] never won an Oscar.

Is it wrong that her outfit and perfectly matching footwear remind me of Prince?

[Edited 3/23/11 11:11am]

I think that woman is Carole Bayer Sager.

One of the most beautiful faces to every come out of Hollywood!

Her eyes

I just read about this on Google, and my first words out of my mouth were, "Oh my God!"

RIP, Liz.

Conspirator (1949), this is an excellent movie, TCM very seldom airs this one.

The TCM lineup is excellent, though wish they would have shown some of Ms. Taylor lesser known films or films that aren't shown as often. These are some of my favorites . . .

The Girl Who Had Everything (1953) film directed by Richard Thorpe

The V.I.P.s, also known as Hotel International, (1963) directed by Anthony Asquith

Secret Ceremony (1968) this is an excellent film, I'd go as far as to call is creepy brilliant . . .

Beau Brummell (1954)

Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967) film directed by John Huston

The Comedians (1967) film directed and produced by Peter Glenville

THE BIGGEST ACTRESS OF ALL TIME IS DEAD. R.I.P. LIZ, A DAMN LEGEND TO THE TENTH POWER. NO ONE CAME CLOSE TO YOU, NO ONE.

YOU'RE NOW WITH MJ AGAIN.

[Edited 3/23/11 6:31am]

Second...

One of my favorites....... so tragic

I'm spraying my White Diamonds today for her. I'm so sad because she was SO glam to me and I loved to watch her on the screen as a kid. I caught wind of this AMAZING movie she was in back in the 70s and was taken away by her beauty. And of course, there's Cleopatra. I ddin't give a damn about the color of her skin. She was just the STUFF.

R.I.P. Miss Taylor. Sass, class, and pizzaz all in one.

Rest in eternal peace, Liz, you deserve the rest.
