That is one beautiful picture! I copied this from Wikipedia:
Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, DBE (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was a British-American actress, businesswoman and humanitarian. She began as a child actress in the early 1940s, and was one of the most popular stars of classical Hollywood cinema in the 1950s. She continued her career successfully into the 1960s, and remained a well-known public figure for the rest of her life. The American Film Institute named her the seventh greatest female screen legend in 1999.
She always fascinated me - a real person with great talent and many human traits - but with a grit to get up and get going again through whatever personal or health trial she faced - showing her grief and her joy to the world. We live in a different era when real talent isn't as necessary as it once was - technology can improve on anything. She lived in a time when the acting was the story - not the technology around it. Yes, she personified that Hollywood time and Shelagh is welcome to claim her too. She had enough grit and talent to go around.
