Boom! I think it was from around 1967 or 68.

Taming of the Shrew

I'll second Taming of the Shrew. Of course I haven't seen a lot of the others.

But before I saw Taming of teh Shrew, I wondered why Ms. Taylor was such a big deal. She managed to sell Katherina's climactic speech without seeming broken and that's darn near impossible.

An outstanding performance by an astoundingly beautiful actress.

Butterfield 8. She was terrific in that. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Suddenly Last Summer, Raintree County, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, A Place in the Sun. Early on, she did a version of Ivanhoe and played Rebekah. She was stunningly beautiful in that movie. I loved her.

YES, YES, YES to all of these. A great talent, an even greater humanitarian and far more intelligent then often given credit for. I am sad for her loss, but glad she is no longer in pain.

Not a movie; but a supposed Elizabeth Taylor local story. According to the rumors, I heard that she stayed one night at the small motel between Lawrence and Ottawa; the one that is now 8 small free standing buildings that recently operated as antiques stores. Can't vouch if true but the story has been around for years; kinda like George Washington "slept here" maybe.

I've heard the same story. She was traveling by auto and wanted to stop to get her feet beneath her for a few days. It is a nice spot.

would that be when she was traveling to Menningers in Topeka for psycho logical treatment?

Yeah and I heard that she had fried chicken there too.

That's easy. For me it's GIANT with James Dean. It's a great story with nice cinematography, legendary actors, and it holds up over time.

I've never understood the fascination with Taylor. She's done nothing for 40 years. She was hot back in the day, I'll give her that.

Indeed, she faced down the ignorance, fear, stigma and hatred that was spewed forth in the early days of the AIDS epidemic. She modeled great courage in a time when it was easy to run or look the other way. Her leadership gave footing to earlier research and compassion without which there would have been so much more loss and despair. Elizabeth was, in Hollywood, without equal in her humanitarian work. She put herself on the line for what she knew was right and didn't let up on others until they took action. Had she never made one movie her loss would be equally as great.

I was talking strictly about her movie career. Sorry I was not clear about that. I just never understood her wasting her talent in The Flintstones.

How about what Entertainment Weekly said was her last moved she cared about..."Reflections of a Golden Eye". What a weird movie.

Dick Cavett said it best. The last of the Redwoods has fallen. Only the small trees remain.

If you grew up watching Elizabeth you would understand.

Independent, Hollywood is our Royalty. I too only liked her for a few films, but her life was so fascinating. Liz was a queen.

Life with Father. Little Women (her beauty as Amy was a great foil for June Allyson's Jo). Giant. When she became an older adult and became the embodiment of "Martha" in "Woolf" (a movie I despised and found incredibly boring) I pretty much lost interest in her.

Which movie? How about none of them. I personally just found her to be tedious and boring on screen. RIP she seemed to have a good heart.

Truly memorable Liz moment: she was the voice of Maggie Simpson when she said her first word, "Dada".
