Wow, just heard it myself. All of old Hollywood is pretty much gone now.

She did so much for research into HIV, she put her money where her mouth was for good. Unlike some of todays "stars".

Well, she certainly lived a good long life.

How sad! What a wonderful movie career she had. She's been in poor health for some time, but still sad to hear of her passing.

We just watched Cleopatra (again LOL) over the weekend. What a beautiful woman and such a great actress!

One of her children said, "We know, quite simply, that the world is a better place for mom having lived in it," and that really says it all.

Rest in peace, Dame Taylor.

I know, she's gorgeous and FABULOUS in the role of Cleopatra. It's one of my favorite classic movies, and I've watched it dozens of times.

It's where she met Richard Burton.

She wasn't just drop-dead gorgeous, she was such a humanitarian--a truly giving, caring woman.
A tiny bit of trivia: she had a small role in the 1943 movie Jane Eyre. She was stunning even then.
They truly don't make "movie stars" like that anymore. The poor woman suffered so much during her life, I hope she's at peace now.

How sad! She was the epitome of grace and class. She will be missed.

So far as her movies go, I also really loved Cleopatra.

I loved the way she stood by her friends when they were under fire, and stood up for HIV/AIDS patients long before it became socially acceptable to do so. She was loyal and brave and compassionate... which made her even more beautiful.

I was watching a movie with Richard Burton last night. I heard of her passing this morning while driving to work. I mentioned this to a co-worker who didn't know who she was.
I said that her and Richard Burton well think of them as a couple like Angela Jolie and Brad Pitt- a famous couple (but really no comparison).

Is there a collection of her movies? There will probably be one now.

They don't have legends nowadays like her.

I feel so sad. Not for her- she'll be with her true love again, with her friends, and she went with her children around her.
I'm sad for me, for us.

All my icons are gone now. The Old Hollywood I treasure so much. Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman, Katharine Hepburn, and now Elizabeth Taylor.
I'm only 18, but I've always, always (really, always) identified with the 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s more than I do with today. I feel like I should have been a part of that world.
The last person I really loved from that era is gone now and I feel kind of a hole.

I'm sorry, to all of you. This is about beautiful, classy, compassionate, brave Elizabeth Taylor, not me. But with her loss I feel an ever greater loss behind it.

When Cleopatra came out I was ten years old and was taken to downtown Chicago to see it. I still have the program. I was very impressed. I already was a fan of hers from seeing National Velvet on TV. Even in that, at age twelve, she was exceptionally beautiful. I got my hair cut like hers in Cleopatra and then played an Egyptian in a school play.

She was a real movie star. They don't really have them anymore.

We lost one of the last great STARS of Hollywood today.

She was a lot more than just a beautiful face on the big screen - she had class, humanity, a wicked sense of humour, a fiery temper and the abililty to love and be loved by many. She also cared for the underdog - HIV/AIDS sufferers long before it become 'fashionable' to do so. She put her money where her mouth was - and raised even more.

We shall never see her like again - Liz Taylor was one of a kind - she lived life to the full and enjoyed herself doing it.

At least now all the pain she has been in for the last few years is gone and she is again with the loved ones that have gone befor. She will get a splendid 'welcome home' party.

May she rest in peace.

May her family remember all the happy times they had and remember her that way.

It's been on the news a lot here with her being born in the UK. And this morning they were outside her childhood home which really didn't look much different to what it was when she was a child

Apparantly her wish was to come back to the UK and buy that house again, but how true that was?

Elizabeth was one of if not the most beautiful woman in Hollywood. She stood by Michael Jackson till the end as I did and I loved her for that. She did what she wanted in her life and never apologized for it, I had read that about her. I'm hoping some of her great movies will be shown on TV soon, I especially loved Butterfield 8. RIP Elizabeth Taylor.
