Remembering A Legend
Fans are remembering Elizabeth Taylor and her legacy on screen and in life. The legendary actress died March 23, 2011, after being hospitalized since February with congestive heart failure. She was 79. According to a publicist, Taylor died at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, with her family by her side.
Taylor was an English-born American actress who rose to fame as a doll-faced child star, transitioning beautifully into adult roles. One of Hollywood’s striking beauties, the violet-eyed Taylor was a compelling actress with more than 50 films to her credit. Nominated five times for a Best Actress Oscar, she received two Academy Awards in the 1960s, one for BUtterfield 8 and another for Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?
Without a doubt, Taylor’s most famous role was that of a beautiful and glamorous movie star. She was a natural magnet for publicity. Her very publicized private life included eight marriages, several near-death experiences, and decades of social activism. Taylor was one of the first celebrities to champion the cause of AIDS awareness and research, for which she earned a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 1993 Academy Awards
