Elizabeth Taylor To Be Buried Today

March 24, 2011

Link

Elizabeth Taylor, who converted to Judaism for her marriages to Mike Todd and Eddie Fisher, is following the rules of the religion by being buried soon after her death Wednesday.

The funeral for the star, who succumbed to congestive heart failure at age 79, is taking place at Forest Lawn, Glendale, on Thursday, say reports. It will be strictly for family members, including her 10 grandchildren.

The cemetery is also where Taylor's friend, Michael Jackson, is buried.

It is expected that a public memorial for Taylor will take place at a later date.

Taylor had four children: Michael and Christopher Wilding (whose father was Taylor's second husband, actor Michael Wilding), Liza Todd (daughter of Taylor and third husband, the showman Mike Todd) and Maria Burton (adopted by Taylor and actor Richard Burton, husband Nos. five and six).

Wow! What a stunning woman. Her beauty, strength and work will always be remembered.

Question: I've always heard people refer to her violet eyes, do anyone have any pics that clearly display her natural eye color. I'd love to see that.

Apparently, it was difficult to capture the color on film. But Paul Newman described it as "startling."

Liz Taylor buried in smal...A cemetery

Elizabeth Taylor's family mourned the screen legend in a brief private funeral service Thursday at a Southern California cemetery famous for being the final resting place of Hollywood celebrities, including her good friend Michael Jackson.

Inside the sprawling Forest Lawn Cemetery, barricades blocked access to the funeral, where about four dozen family members mourned the actress during a service that lasted about an hour, said Glendale police spokesman Tom Lorenz. Five black stretch limousines transported Taylor's family to and from the funeral, but no procession was held.

The service began 15 minutes after its announced start time in observance of Taylor's parting wish that her funeral start late, her publicist Sally Morrison said.

Taylor had left instructions asking for the tardy start and had requested that someone announce, "She even wanted to be late for her own funeral," Morrison said.

TWO GREATS TOGETHER HERE IN A RATHER STRANGE MOVIE..PROBABLY AHEAD OF ITS TIME...MARLON BRANDO AND LIZ TAYLOR...GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN...

Very strange movie indeed and very good. As you probably know Montgomery Cliff was suppose to play opposite of Ms. Taylor but he passed away before filming start, hence Marlon Brando got the part. It's interesting to me that Ms. Taylor made a couple of avant-garde movies in the mid/late 60's.

they didn't show up

- I guess they thought they'd have time to make signs and pack, not realizing she became Jewish decades ago and had to be buried within a day of death...

Gotta love her people in the way they handle this. This is how you avoid drama folks.

I like Jolie but come on the comparisons are real ridiculous. Liz was a lot of things Jolie isn't.

I think maybe they are just trying to communicate to a demographic that cannot understand things unless they are expressed in terms of "brangelina" or "glee" or "oprah"

OK, good point, but they should have clarified it. The younger generation probably doesn't know a lot about her work.

"Probably"????

I don't know where you live but I'll bet cash money right now that if you ask the very next 10 people that you see under the age of 30...wherever you are in the entire world...to name...one single film that Dame Elizabeth Taylor "appeared in"...they couldn't do it....without looking it up!

Also included is the spy drama Conspirator (1949), with Taylor in her first adult role.

The following is a complete schedule of TCM’s April 10 memorial tribute to Elizabeth Taylor (all times Eastern):

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.

Totally agree. Or replace that one and Lassie Come Home with APITS and SLS. I understand why they're showing Lassie Come Home, but I would rather have seen a higher quality film in its place. Pretty sure they're not showing APITS because of its spot at the festival. Glad they didn't try and stuff Cleopatra in there, too. I really like that film, but its too long and slow (and really not that "great").

RIP

The gown Ms. Taylor wore in "The Last Time I Saw Paris" is in my top 10. The white silk gown worn at the charity ball.
