anagramofbrat: (movie reel)
I'm sure I could find something else in Elizabeth Taylor's long career to quote in her memory, but the main thing that comes to mind is a commercial from my childhood that I swear was still airing as recently as last Christmas:



Since I'm sure TCM will be pre-empting all of its programming for the next week in favor of her movies I have a feeling Dad and I will be doing that tonight. Hopefully there will be some Cat on a Hot Tin Roof or Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf action there, but hell, I have no shame, I'll be equally happy if Cleopatra comes on. Yes, I like that movie a lot. All 4+ gloriously over the top melodramatic hours of it.

Rest in peace, Lady Liz. You were a legend.

I choose to believe that Michael greeted her with a gentle "You didn't have to come visit so soon, you know."

Rest well, Dame Elizabeth. You will be remembered well and fondly.

Did you know?

Northampton is where she filmed "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?", a lot of which was at Dewey House at Smith College.

yep! That was the reason I eventually got around to watching it. You only see the campus in the first 15 minutes though.
