I think she said she wanted to be buried with him and wanted to be with him again in the afterlife. I'm sure they are. Mike Todd too.

The subject matter was awful but I still was fascinated by her performance in Suddenly Last Summer, with the haunted Montgomery Clift (a dear friend of hers - even though he got her caught up in all his insecurities about his sexuality she was always there for him, even literally holding his face together at one point). The scene of her in the white bathing suit is stunning.

I do believe she acknowledged Mike Todd as the ultimate love of her life.

I wonder what Debbie Reynolds will say today.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is also one of my favorites. I think she is so damn gorgeous in that film.

This New York Times tribute to her life and career is a wonderfully written and worthy of Elizabeth: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/24/movies/elizabeth-taylor-obituary.html?hp=&adxnnl=1&adxnnlx=1300895898-aUHU4iAiT0HLxSxG1PMa/Q

She'll ask Liz to say hello to all their exes.

One of the greats. The movie stars of today can hold a candle to her.

Thanks. This was great to read, very thorough. She outlived the man who wrote her obituary - that says it all.

As I've said before, at her peak, she was the most powerful,, beautiful, and naturally gifted dramatic actress in Hollywood. Not to mention, she was and will always be the true definition of a STAR. Very few like her ever come along in a lifetime, and with her passing, we've really lost the last of golden Hollywood royalty from the classic age.

How sad. She was an unrivaled beauty I think. I didn't see all her movies, but a few out for me as winners: Father Of The Bride and Father's Little Dividend, A Place In The Sun, and Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. She was a saint to devote 20 years to AIDS research.

Taylor and Burton on Here's Lucy.

Burton apparently couldn't stand Lucille Ball.

Liz hated Butterfield 8 and thought it was a sucky film she got forced into doing by the studio. She did win her first Oscar for the film, though she credits her health problems for helping her win it.

Too bad her win for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is uploaded on YouTube yet...

People magazine pointed out that her death came 53 years and 1 day after the plane crash that killed Mike Todd.

Too bad her last interview was with Kim Kardashian:

ELIZABETH TAYLOR: I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands. For me, life happened, just as it does for anyone else. I have been supremely lucky in my life in that I have known great love, and of course I am the temporary custodian of some incredible and beautiful things. But I have never felt more alive than when I watched my children delight in something, never more alive than when I have watched a great artist perform, and never richer than when I have scored a big check to fight AIDS. Follow your passion, follow your heart, and the things you need will come.

ET: It was inevitable that we [burton & Taylor] would be married again, but it's not up for discussion.

I guess Harper's Bazaar wanted it to look like a passing-of-the-torch sort of thing. If you ask me, though, it only points up how far this culture has come since "Lucky Liz" - and how low it has sunk, too.

(Wanna be like Liz, Kim? Well, then, do something more than have a nice behind. That would be a start.)
