What a beautiful lady she was - Elizabeth Taylor, a talented individual with a great spirit & a wonderful smile to match. Today, we mourn her death after a long battle with illness & I personally would like to pay tribute to this Goddess of her time,
Elizabeth Taylor has been in hospital for a few weeks to treat heart failure and it is sad that we have lost such a wonderful person.
"A tad of history about Elizabeth -
Dame Elizabeth Rosemond "Liz" Taylor , DBE (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was an English- born American actress.
Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born
in Hampstead, a wealthy district of North West London, the second child of Francis Lenn Taylor (1897– 1968) and Sara Viola Warmbrodt (1895– 1994), who were Americans residing in England.
Taylor was considered one of the great actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age . The American Film Institute named Taylor seventh on its Female Legends list."
Posted by Us Magazine, Taylors last exclusive interview sports: "25 things you did'nt know about me"
1. Before I made films, I had a lemonade stand in Southern
California.
2. When Jose Eber is out of town, I love to cut my hair and anyone else's.
3. I'm mad for Law & Order and have seen every single episode. My
children and Mariska Hargitay , a dazzling actress, played together as
kids.
4. I converted to Judaism in 1959.
5. My Jewish name is Elisheba Rachel.
6. My first horse was named Betty.
7. I didn't go on a date until I was 16.
8. My legs are too short.
9. The film I'm proudest of is Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

19. I've never had acting lessons, though
many people think I need them.
20. In my twenties, I nearly lost my eye and my leg. Still have them both,
tee hee.
21. Nerves are the nemesis of all actors.
22. I hate being called Liz, because it can sound like such a hiss.
23. I believe you can be close to God anywhere.
24. My dog Delilah is in love with my cat Fang. To each his own.
25. My family and people with HIV/ AIDS are my life.
A few of Taylor's tweets on her account comes across as very inspirational:
"Not at least until I'm dead, and at the moment I'm having too much fun being alive...and I plan on staying that way. Hapiness to all"
"That is the thing that will give back to you all the rewards that there are. Don't do it for yourself, because then it becomes selfish...because then it becomes about yourself...which is wrong. Giving is to give to God. Helping is to help others."
Rest In Peace Elizabeth Taylor
