Pay It Forward - I donated $25 to the Elizabeth Taylor Aids Foundation
Wow. What a week. Elizabeth Taylor is no longer with us. What a huge void we have without her presence.
She WAS Hollywood, and in my opinion the last living link to old, classic Hollywood.
I remember my Mom telling me that Elizabeth Taylor was famous for her violet eyes. At first I didn't believe her, but when you look very closely, there truly is a slight violet hue to her eyes.
To me, she is a symbol of living your life fully by your beliefs, without wavering to public pressures. If she were a boxer, she would have been the undisputed lightweight champion, because with that amount of fight you are pretty much unstoppable.
And lastly, she had dedicated decades of her life to fighting a terrible disease that can strike anyone in many different countries. I'm certain that the advances we've made towards treatment and a cure were due in heavy part from the right hooks and left uppercuts she threw by her tireless fundraising efforts that have totalled in the hundreds of millions of dollars.

Brava! Ms. Taylor for your bravery, and your vulnerability. Thank you for a life well-lived and for for a society you've well-served.
You did good, chick....................
I had a small brush with her in the 70s. While living in Hawaii, I vacationed in her brother's home on Kauai and bought a puka shell necklace on the same beach where she was said to have first bought her's....the home had albumns of Richard Burton's performances which I had never heard before.
Puka shells were common on the beaches of Kauai and she made them FAMOUS - before Elivs and Kenny Chesney!
Good one Ralph, I agree, she will leave a big hole and will be missed. She was a beautiful and caring soul.
What a nice tribute to a grand actress, Ralph! 'Liz' will be missed.
I think she will be remembered as much for her charity work as for her celebrity and marriages.
