Very good actress.

Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf? is one of my favorites.

I had seen a photo of her on Entertainment Tonight where she needed oxygen tanks and such. I think she had congestive heart failure. I figured it was just a matter of time. Still, it's very sad to hear. RIP to a legend.

Yup, pretty much this. Sad but expected.

79 is too young in this day and age. Still, what a fascinating life and a great legacy. She's a part of many of the best Hollywood movies of all time.

Re: CNN reporting death of Elizabeth Taylor

Never really seen anything with her in it. I mostly only remember her from being on the supermarket tabloids all the time. For the past 20 years they've had so many cover stories that have said "Elizabeth Taylor: Brave Last Days".

Re: CNN reporting death of Elizabeth Taylor

sadly I've known her as an old women who was crazy weird in my life span, fortunately she did some great work that I saw when she was younger. Still need to see more of that stuff.

Re: CNN reporting death of Elizabeth Taylor

I wonder how the Simpsons will handle this. Will they retire Maggie like they did with all of Phil Hartman's characters?

Re: CNN reporting death of Elizabeth Taylor

Unfortunately in my life I only really know Elizabeth Taylor as tabloid fodder. She's been the eccentric Liz Taylor since the 80's.

RIP Liz, you truly were aGLADIATOR!!

I'm not as familiar with her films as I should be, but I know she was a legend. RIP.
