As previously mentioned she was a legend of the highest order in Hollywood appearing in films since the age of nine. She appeared in seventy films and television roles during a career that spanned seven decades, winning two Oscars for best actress (for 1960's BUtterfield 8 and 1966's Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf). In spite of her prolific career, Dame Elizabeth became known for her erratic love life which saw her marry seven different men, her most famous and passionate union being her affair and two marriages to celebrated Welsh actor Richard Burton. In her twilight years she spent most of her time championing several for humanitarian causes, most notably HIV/AIDS related charities.
I don't want to say too much more about Dame Elizabeth at this point, because I would like to give her the full Bombshell for the Ages treatment sometime in the near future. Her death is particularly shocking, because of her history of cheating death throughout her long life. Looks like the lives of Maggie the cat have finally run out. Rest in Peace Ms. Taylor, your beauty, talent, and generosity of spirit were truly inspiring.
