I admire her spunk, her leadership and contributions to Aids awareness and research, etc. She lived her life her way with 8 husbands, lots of jewels, tons of causes. I bet she had some hard times, was probably judged harshly at times by many who do not know her in the least.. I know she worked very hard in her career and as a humanitarian... and she had fun! I would love to read more about her - she seems to be very "real" regardless of her superstar status.

She's done so much for so long I really thought she was much older than 79!

She was definitely a fabulous personality, onscreen and off. She's been a brave soul, to face all the troubles that came her way and she was truly one of the first Hollywood "child stars"--started acting at age 10, and quite literally grew up in and around movie studios. It can't be easy to live life in a fish bowl, especially when you're as beautiful as she was, but she did it with style, and grace, and courage, and good humor. You gotta respect that.

And, Scooty, we really will have to have some movie nights for you! I think I've seen all of her films--that doesn't include the myriad television roles, appearances, and even cartoons that she lent her voice to over the years. Some of my favorites were always Butterfield 8; Suddenly, Last Summer; and A Place in the Sun--love me some Monty Clift! MmMmMmmmm! (Yep. I am SUCH an old movie nerd... :roll

I?ve got one answer - I haven?t had tomorrow."

I saw something that I liked yesterday, I thought it was a really lovely statement. A journalist wrote about her that

"She lived her life in hyperbole."

I think that kinda said it all.

I read that Elizabeth T was 15 minutes late for her own funeral, which she had requested. I absolutely love it.
