Meh. She had a good run.

Ledger

RIP Liz Taylor.

She had been married 8 times.

Yawn! who cares, her only notable contribution is as a prototype of the modern vain, self-obsessed and publicity desperate celebrity.

****, all the old classics are on their way out.

How long before Clint Eastwood and Harrison Ford go too

RIP Elizabeth Taylor.

Cupcake_Crisis

DONT JINX THEM!!!!!

Penn

Who will they get to replace her as the voice of Maggie Simpson?

ScumLord

She was still alive?! :eek:

Dudess

That's true Invincible, but she was pretty iconic - and not terribly old at all by today's standards.

Never! :mad:

She can party on with Michael Jackson and Bubbles now:D

Cupcake_Crisis

She contributed a lot to her industry, and that should be respected

liah

Oh wow, how sad I grew up watching her movies. Have National Velvet on my harddrive, think I might give that a watch tonight.

She was a great actress in her heyday, and a beautiful one at that. Unusual violet eyes. May she rest in peace.

I actually have no idea what she did except show up in the media all the time

grumula

if there is an afterlife, Burton's waiting, two glasses of vodka, trousers down,
"awright thundatíts?!"

She was a child/teen actress in the 30s/40s/50s (Velvet is 1944, anyway, and I'm not sure how long before/after that she was working as that's the only movie I've access to at the moment). A star, in her day. It's a bit sad nobody recognizes her for anything except random media appearances, am I the only one of my generation who knows who she is from seeing her films?

sensibleken

I'll always remember her as Mrs Andrews in Captain Planet and the planeteers

lmao she always looked dead anyways!

The gay community will be inconsolable

RIP Liz Taylor.

I don't think I've seen any of her work that was any good other than the grand national one. Truly the Jordan of her day.

This thread is going completely the wrong way. A person has just died after all

because you haven't seen any of her work, she is a reality tv luddite?
that's quite the jump- (although she did have truly giant jabbies).

Clint has years left. I remember seeing his mother at the oscars a few years back. I think she has died since though.

She was much more than a child actress.

She won 2 Oscars and numerous other awards.

Who's afraid of Virginia Wolfe and Cleopatra come to mind as 2 of her most memorable movies.

She got to have sex with Richard Burton - she married him twice he was that good. Lucky cow. She was exquisitely beautiful when young - and iconic looking (google "elizabeth taylor cat on a hot tin roof") but jeesh, thanks to the hard living, she was fairly wrecked by not even 40. She seemed like an awful whingey diva all right though.
A gay icon also - even one of her husbands, Montgomery Clift, was gay.

Late 60's I think.
Still, can't be too long really.

The screen classics are going.

Oh, I know, I just figured I'd give some background as her early stuff is the stuff I've seen and adored, I wasn't implying that was all she did.

Nah, she wasn't "truly", no.
