In Tribute
I was preparing my blog post this morning when I was floored by the news that Elizabeth Taylor had passed away at the age of 79, reportedly of congestive heart failure. Not only was she one of the most beautiful women in the world, but she was a humanitarian, dedicated to the cause of finding a cure for AIDS. As she is undeniably one of the most romantic figures to come out of Hollywood in generations, I dedicate this post to the memory of the incomparable Elizabeth Taylor.
In a bit of irony, this tribute was narrated by Paul Newman, with whom she starred in Cat On a Hot Tin Roof, and originally aired on the Turner Classic Movies channel.
Rest in Peace, sweet lady. You will be missed.

it was very sad news indeed!
While I wasn't surprised by the news, considering her failing health, I was deeply saddened to hear of it.
We have definitely lost a great soul.
This is such sad news.
Not only was she a beautiful woman, she was a talented actress, a humanitarian and she will be missed. I was very saddened to hear of her death.
She was a great gift to the world. Thanks for this tribute to her.
She was so beautiful in her younger days. But she has had more than her share of health issues throughout the years. She will be missed.
Thank you, everyone, for your responses.
I don't think that I have ever seen one of her movies.
What a beautiful actress she was. We cant forget her for a long time.
So true.
Wonderful and thoughtful post. I was saddened also, though it had sounded dire for some time. She is a true icon and will always be remembered.
Nicely said, April!
