The Girl With the Violet Eyes

The incomparable Elizabeth Taylor passed away this morning at the age of 79. Originally, my plan was to write an eloquent post on her life and legacy. I can't do it. There's nothing I can say about Taylor that you don't already know or hasn't been said 1000 times before.

Whether it was pulling her own on screen against Paul Newman in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (my personal favorite movie of all time) or romping through her much-publicized romantic life, she always did it with panache. Elizabeth Taylor was quite a woman. Today, the world is a little less fabulous for her loss.
