How I will always remember her.

The scene from "A Place in the Sun" where Taylor dances with Clift. Her beautiful face in those closeups...

1. One of my favorite movies ever. I could watch it over and over again.

2. That was nice, thanks.

These last few years must have been pure torment for Taylor. I feel so sorry for her but at least her suffering (and that of her family who watched her go through it) is over...

3. Yours made my cry

then I watched a few scenes from "Suddenly Last Summer", another favorite because of the lobotomy issue. I had to stop before getting too emotional about it because I know she wasn't happy anymore. If there really is an afterlife, Richard and Michael were right there waiting for her with love. I already pulled out Place in the Sun to watch tonight. Send a box of tissues please.

4. Thanks for these clips!

5. Oh, it is such a sad movie. Clift had such a tragic life and died far too soon.

Taylor was the last star of that movie alive and now she's gone, too.

I am thinking of her children and granchildren now. They have to be relieved that she is at peace at long last. Her suffering must have been unbearable to them. I know the thought of my own mother suffering would have been horrible and mercifully, she died at 94 without a great deal of suffering and pain.

It's probably better to focus on Taylor's accomplishments and triumphs. She certainly had an illustrious career and took real risks to break through her mold...

7. said in the youtube comments that that was in 1954 which is hard to believe.

Wasn't she in Cleopatra in 1961? That would be two more husbands in only 7 intervening years (Mike Todd and Eddie Fisher).

13. That was lovely

Thanks

8. As a little girl, I adored her in National Velvet and

Lassie Come Home.

As an adult, I was awed by her and Newman in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Probably the most physically beautiful screen couple I've ever seen.

9. She was such a beauty. And she could act too!

And she had a huge heart. So Sad.

10. Damn, she was a stunning woman! (And Montgomery Clift never received his just due ...

as a truly gifted actor.)

11. He was so tortured in his psyche. I think he drank himself to death...

12. I was telling hubby earlier today

that she was an integral part of my 'growing up years'. One of our good friends'parents owned two of the cinemas so we saw loads of movies for free - how we loved Elizabeth Taylor. I'm not a groupie but I really felt sad when I heard of her death this morning.

14. I think "A Place in the Sun" was pretty pivotal in my life in the movies.

It was so powerful in its presentation of Taylor (the dance floor scene) that I just fell for the whole idea of Elizabeth Taylor in a way that the studios had hoped we all would.

15. I loved that movie

She was a star

[Raine]

16. LOVE that movie one of my favorites, another favorite

"Whose Afraid of Virgina Wolfe". Liz wasn't afraid to get down, dirty and overweight for that one, loved it!

17. Giant. That's the one for me.

Such an underrated movie.
