Elizabeth Taylor the legendary actress died

Elizabeth Taylor

The world mourns with the passing of Hollywood film legend and icon of beauty, Elizabeth Taylor - the violet-eyed film legend whose sultry screen persona, stormy personal life and enduring fame and glamour made her one of the last of the classic movie stars and a template for the modern celebrity. I first heard of this remarkable woman from my mom who used to tell me great things about her. That she was considered as the most beautiful woman of her time and that no other woman fits the role of the equally iconic woman Cleopatra other than the stunning Elizabeth.

As told by her son, Michael Wilding, ''My mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love. 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."

Thank you Elizabeth for sharing to the world your extraordinary grace, unbelievable talent, and incomparable beauty. You taught us that beauty alone cannot stand on its own. It must be coupled with substance, the compassion to help, and perseverance to triumph against any adversities be it on a personal level or of public interest. Your legacy lives on.

Let us try to relive the colorful and intriguing life of this incredible human being named Elizabeth Taylor.
