Elizabeth Taylor died.

I really liked her - she was a huge talent.

RIP Liz.

I actually hit the gay jackpot once when i worked on Universal CityWalk in Hollywood about 19 years ago. There was a charity comedy show being held at the studio and i saw Elizabeth Taylor and Bette Midler having lunch at Wolfgang Pucks next door. She was stunningly beautiful in person.

I only knew her as a personality in the tabloids. I know, obviously, that she was a movie star once, but that's not what I think of when her name is spoken.

I think of her time with Michael Jackson and Malcolm Forbes, and all the husbands she had.

Random story: My cousin had to retrieve something from her bathroom for her once for some reason, and said she was not very tidy.

Rent National Velvet and the original Father of the Bride. Both are worth seeing anyway.

Watch Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Or Suddenly Last Summer. She's amazing in both.

I'd add "Cat On A Hot Tin Roof" as well.

She was a great British Ambassador. Probably why she was messy too

Why are they protesting? They hated her, she's dead. Surely they should be celebrating?
