In Memory of Elizabeth Taylor

The film world has lost one of its greats this morning.  Elizabeth Taylor was one of the talents that surpassed all others and it is with sadness that we hear of her passing.  Ms Taylor has been the guiding light for so many and she leaves behind dozens of roles that will never be matched by anyone else.  Her career spanned 6 decades and included such memorable roles as Cleopatra (Cleopatra), Katharine (The Taming of the Shrew), Martha (Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), Leslie Benedict (Giant), Maggie Pollitt (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof), and Amy March (Little Women) along with many others.  Aside from her award winning roles she has acted along side some of the greatest actors to grace the silver screen -- James Dean in Giant, Paul Newman in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, and Richard Burton (who eventually became her 5th and 6th husband) in Cleopatra, Virginia Woolf and Taming.  The legacy she leaves behind is one that will continue to live on in the hearts of anyone who will ever love movies.
