Two of the things I remember the most about Liz Taylor were her performances in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" and "Suddenly Last Summer". The scripts demanded great performances and Liz delivered.
In "Suddenly Last Summer", she out acted Katharine Hepburn and in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf", she out acted any other actress who graced the silver screen.
She had a long history of friendships with gay actors which included, Montgomery Cliff, Rock Hudson and Roddy McDowell. This happened long before it was cool to be gay.
She also stood by Michael Jackson during his darkest moments a few years ago.
Liz also was the first celebrity to bring AIDS to the forefront of the media.
Dame Elizabeth Taylor lived a very passionate life, both on and off the screen. I remember her most for the way she put her own life into film characters.
