Hollywood Icon Elizabeth Taylor Dies at 79

As a kid, one of the very first times I felt a tingling feeling in my nether-region was when I was watching Cleopatra. There were two scenes in that film that almost counted as nudity. One was where she was lying on a couch with nothing but a sheer blanket over her. You could totally see her nipples sticking out. The other was when she was lying naked on a table on her stomach being massaged by her servants. You could see the curve of her ass.

I've been in love with her ever since!

Now I'm sad.

:crying:
 
And I realise I never seen any of her movies :facepalm:

RIP to her

She was seriously ill when they filmed Cleopatra. Had she died then, she would be as big a legend as Marilyn. Now she's just another Joan Collins.

Bye, Martha! See you in heaven's rehab center ...

... Joan Collins has a FO page? :rofl:

Oh, shame on you Elizabeth...you should've died then to save your legacy...:facepalm:

RIP to one of the most beautiful women ever as well as the heaps of charity work she was involved in. A true star unlike many of today's Hollywood 'icons'.
 
I can't really say anything that hasn't already been said. She represented a different kind of Hollywood. She had Class and Talent but maybe was the first to bring a high level of Beauty along with those other two.

It sounds like she was in pain and misery these past couple of years. She is now at peace, and the world truly is a less wonderful place today.

AFK..being taken to the vet to get neutered.
A monumentally beautiful woman: a monumentally talented actress.

With her passing, the world has become a slightly darker place, as - one by one - the bright lights that defined what it really was to be a HollyWood star, are snuffed out by time.

Thank you Ulysses. :)

This commercial has got to be playing for close to thirty years ... (I was in high school when it first came out.) I just saw it as recently as two weeks ago.



R.I.P. Liz.
