Tr...<i>With Taylor passes a kind of Hollywood stardom</i><br /><br />True <br /><br />I admired the woman and the actress. I can't say I've ever seen her give a bad performance...as an actor she had a still point that a faltering technique does not impinge upon. I was just watching " Cat on a hot tin roof" for the frist time in years. She's terrific. She showed me alot this time....and I was taught to look down on her work there because of the accent...<br /><br />In " Cleopatra" , she and Rex Harrison are the only watchable things in it.<br /><br />Thank you for highlighting and recalling how it was when she stood up for aids victims and would not back down and changed the world. Do people remember health professionals would not treat aids victims when Liz Taylor stood up for them? This was a great womanAnnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05033117202223821117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455126179375366490.post-79690396277839145192011-03-24T00:03:35.860-04:002011-03-24T00:03:35.860-04:00Beautifully written.

Plenty of stars would have written a check or showed up at a benefit; she knew she could make a major difference, and she threw herself into it. She never turned her back on a friend in need. <br /><br />Not my favorite actress by a long chalk (Cleopatra is dreadful, Boom! hilarious for all the wrong reasons, etc.), and she never knew the value of money having never known a time when people didn't throw it at her ... but when the time came to stand up and be human, she didn't hesitate.
