A beautiful and eloquent vignette into the life and passion of one who will truly be remembered as one of the greats. Not only as a gifted actress with a spirited sensibility, but as a woman with guts. A woman who could not just sit on the sidelines and say nothing as this heinous disease swept across the lives of people world wide, but became empowered to stand up to the gross injustice that most people are unwilling to even admit exists. She gave the beaten down and afflicted a voice, when they had no power to speak for themselves, and for that alone, I will always be grateful. She will be remembered fondly for many, many generations to come, not only for her grace and elegance, but for her amazing unapologetic strength and love for those in need. God Bless you Elizabeth, and thank you Spencer for yet another beautifully crafted piece.
Elizabeth hated being called "Liz"
Liz, as people called Her, was Cleopatra, Virginia Wolf, also a Kitty Cat, but as he Chairwomen, was a Lion. Never would be forgettable and Her violet eyes will watch over us.
Elizabeth,a legend did legendary work helping sick suffering people with the worlds most demoralizing,deadly disease.Having understanding,affiliation, presents the gift of feeling the love from one of the worlds most beautiful woman+++
A beautiful woman, flawed, fun, witty, caring, cool, good with one liners, fabulous, always relevant, God will bless her and forgive her for Eddie Fisher! LOL She was the last of the greats I believe!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Spencer for such a well written and insightful article. Out of the many stars of her generation that I grew up watching,she was by far, my favorite. She had a quiet elegance about her that never left her. What a joy it must have been to actually meet her. Thank you for paying such a wonderful tribute to a wonderful lady.
It has been two days now and i'm still very sad. I just hope that people will continue on in her memory. a few weeks ago a friend said that he heard a rumor. It had to do with Amfar and that Amfar wanted to find a cure for hiv/aids while taylor was still living.I just hope that we don't give up. She wouldn't want us to give up. There still is work to be done.
