Good morning! Today I’m excited to write about Elizabeth Taylor, Who died yesterday (23 of march, 2011). She was many years in treatment because health problems , she had chronic insufficient cardiac. About 5 years the actress was using a wheelchair because of her pains. Yesterday, after a surgery, with 79 years old, died this cinema icon!
A diva, who loved a lot, who got married seven times, actually eight, because with her true love Richard Burton she got married two times.
She did important movies to the cinema's history:
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? – as Martha
Cleópatra – as Cleópatra
Butterfield 8 –as Gloria Wandrous
The Comedians–as Martha Pineda
The Taming of the Shrew – as Catharina
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof – as Margaret Pollitt
Giant – as Leslie Benedict
A place in the sun –as Angela Vickers
Liz Taylor Will be a icon forever, she shone where she was, not Just because her famous jewelry but because her personality and exuberance, and she will shine forever!
