Elizabeth Taylor In Memoriam

Taylor and Newman in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (MGM 1958)

Dame Elizabeth Taylor, DBE (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was an English-born American actress. Beginning as a child star, as an adult she came to be known for her acting talent and beauty, and had a much publicized private life. Taylor was considered one of the great actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age. (Wikipedia)

What I will remember Elizabeth Taylor for most as an actress are her performances in
"Giant" opposite James Dean and Rock Hudson (1956),
"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof " opposite Paul Newman (1958) and
"Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? opposite Richard Burton (1966).

As a heroine in real life I will always remember Elizabeth Taylor for her strong moral backbone, her loyalty and support to her friends Rock Hudson and Michael Jackson and her support of the gay community in general during times when it was not politically correct or even convenient.

The world will always need strong and outspoken women, Elizabeth Taylor was one of them. She made a difference and she will be sorely missed.
