R.I.P. Elizabeth Taylor

Via MSNBC:

Hollywood legend Elizabeth Taylor, who went from child star to screen siren, died Wednesday in Los Angeles from congestive heart failure. She was 79. Her children were at her side when she died.

"My Mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love," said her son, Michael Wilding, in a statement. "Though her loss is devastating to those of us who held her so close and so dear, we will always be inspired by her enduring contribution to our world. Her remarkable body of work in film, her ongoing success as a businesswoman, and her brave and relentless advocacy in the fight against HIV/AIDS, all make us all incredibly proud of what she accomplished. We know, quite simply, that the world is a better place for Mom having lived in it. Her legacy will never fade, her spirit will always be with us, and her love will live forever in our hearts."

-Rest in peace...

    Well I will be the bold one here and say that we need to stop with this mentality that there are no movie stars. Yes there is. Though she was one of a kind. And will be missed greatly. This week will definitely be a Elizabeth Taylor week for me.

    The definition of movie star has changed, that's pretty much beyond debate. Now, the movie or the concept sells tickets, not the name attached.

    There will NEVER be another Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Barbara Stanwyck...etc. They had star quality that will won't be matched. I agree with Joey, the definition of a movie star has definately changed.

    It might be hard to look past the last, well it seems like forever that she's been old, but she was truly a beautiful woman. Not to mention an extremely talented actress. I shall also be watching a few of her films this week.
