HOLLYWOOD star and American film legend, Elizabeth Taylor, died last week of congestive heart failure at 79 years old. She was a glamorous icon of Los Angeles. Two-time Oscar winner, she made over 50 films and dated many of Hollywood's leading men. She was known for her dating life, beauty and stardom, but in the second part of her life it was her activism against AIDS that garnered noteworthy attention. The sad death of this legendary woman marks "the end of an era," says Barbra Streisand.
Elizabeth Taylor was an extremely beautiful and giving person. I loved her as Cleopatra the most. Her spirit seemed so youthful all the way up to her death. She was still seen around, wearing her fabulous clothes and jewels. Yet she also made a huge contribution to AIDS and that is probably the greatest legacy she left behind and what she will be celebrated for. I aspire to be like her someday: still having fun and looking great at an old age but also having done something amazing for the world.
I'm glad someone wrote about this. Though I am not a intense fan of hers, she truly was a Hollywood icon that represented all old-school celebrity style and grace.
