RIP Elizabeth Taylor. What was your favorite movie of hers?

She passed? I hadn’t heard. :( I always thought she was hot as Cleopatra.

I loved her in the sultry roles—Maggie in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” and her title role in “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”. Truly a legend.

She could pull off sultry like no one else.

I grew up knowing her as a sort of blowsy, heavily made up woman with too many marriages and frightening hair, and then I saw her in National Velvet and was blown away by her beauty, especially her eyes.

My all time favorite next to Cleopatra was A Place in the Sun with Montgomery Cliff.

I’m with my fellow jellies, Cleopatra beyond a shadow. She was just stunning, you could genuinely believe that a man could lose his heart from just a glance at her. Also Cat on a Hot Tin Roof which I love (the play that is. I saw the stageplay years ago in London with Brendan Fraser and he was amazing in it.) Ms Taylor was beyond beautiful as Maggie,

This one. :)

A Place in the Sun.

While the role did not play on her beauty, her performance in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf was legendary.

Father of the Bride

Don’t think I ever saw a movie she was in. I will always remember her for saying “Daddy” as the voice of Maggie Simpson.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf

Yes, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf

Sorry for posting twice, but I found a great clip by the New York Times movie critic that I just had to share.

Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf

I loved her movies. Just watching her and those beautiful eyes. RIP Elizabeth Taylor!

Definitely Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Maggie the cat… purrrrfect casting. This sexy, dangerously wounded woman with the periwinkle eyes… opposite Paul Newman, Burl Ives, written by Tennessee Williams at his best, directed by Mankiewitz. How is this not a classic?

And after all the failed predictions of her impending death since the fifties, she outlives the guy who wrote her NYT obit by six years. Way to go baby!
