My heart aches, I grieve at the loss of such an amazing person. She gave her all to the cinema and to help others, particularly in fighting AIDS. My only comfort is that she has gone on to a better place and feels pain no more. My hope is that she has been reunited with those she loved and lost.
Here is a lovely tribute to Elizabeth narrated by Paul Newman.
Clips from my personal favorite films:
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf
My all time favorite film. Period. The acting is breath-taking, the direction exquisite. She won an Oscar.
Getting angry, Baby?
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Relationships are complicated. She was nominated for an Oscar.
Butterfield 8
Won Elizabeth Taylor an Oscar
And, last but not least, a film I happened to watch just the other weekend. It's 3 1/2 hours long, so be prepared to settle in on the couch for an entire afternoon...
Cleopatra
Larger than life and pure genius.
Director Joseph L. Mankiewicz likened Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton's on-set chemistry to "being locked in a cage with two tigers."
Here are some exquisite photos of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton from Life.com
Gros bisous de tristesse et a demain.
Love, Charley
