Hollywood legend and icon Elizabeth Taylor has passed away today at the age of 79.
The lady who was Cleopatra was arguably better known in the second half of her life for her “private” life and marriages (and, of course, her most famous on-off relationship with Richard Burton) than for her onscreen performances but she retains a rich backlog of wonderful silver screen moments and will forever be appreciated by those she also helped with her tireless charity work.
Even in death the focus is on the Elizabeth Taylor Aids Foundation as the family has requested that donations be made there instead of flowers being sent.
