When I was very young, I use to read about Elizabeth Taylor and her antics and dreamed of the glamourous lifestyle she led. I was in awe of her beauty and talent on-screen. I was mesmerised by some of her film performances and lapped up all the gossip and scandal surrounding her colourful love life. Her love affair with Richard Burton was the stuff of legends. Her friendship with Michael Jackson strange yet touching. She was inspirational as the only major celebrity to first speak out and campaign about AIDS in the 80's. My mother bought her perfume in litres ('White Diamonds' I believe) when she was the first famous person I remember to ever bring one out.
So many try to copy Elizabeth Taylor but no one will ever match her. What an absolute legend and what an absolute star. The world is definitely a duller place without her.
