Liz Taylor does not have it done. Mourning in the world of cinema

Liz Taylor is gone and the world of cinema hours mourns one of its most popular myths. The violet-eyed star is off to Cesar for heart failure Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was hospitalized for six weeks. He completed 79 years on 27 February. I admit that I expected, in the sense that when I heard the news of yet another hospitalization and serious medical conditions besetting the actress, I thought, "Here we go, another major that goes ".

After all, Taylor was prone to "ailments" of various kinds from a young age, ending in coma and undergoing several surgeries. This did not stop her nor ever to be one of the most versatile and intense performers of the Hollywood film scene from the golden years, or on the private front, to get noticed for a love life "exuberant, so to speak.

Married eight times, remained in the history of his turbulent and passionate love affair with Richard Burton, a great actor, in turn, met on the set of blockbuster (failed at the box office) Cleopatra. The two were picked up and left for decades, married once, divorced and then remarried.

Taylor always said that she would have none of lovers, husbands alone with the papers in order! Born in England to American parents, he was already a beautiful little girl, probably why he began his career in showbiz early, first with the ads, then with the film. And who can forget his role in "Lassie Come Home" (1943) and later in the delightful "Grand Prix" (1944), where she played the role of a jockey? The star also won two Oscars for Best Actress, the first for "BUtterfield" (1960), and the second for "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" (1966), but many films that leaves its mark , with its extraordinary beauty and talent.

Close-ups of Elizabeth Taylor, are not something you can forget. From the human point of view, the Taylor had a big heart, was the first to support the battle against AIDS, after the death of a colleague and close friend Rock Hudson, defying the Hollywood Puritanism, and never ceased to support Michael Jackson even when everyone else turned their backs.

We'll miss you, Liz, but fortunately, there will always be your lot, intense film, to remind us that great actress, and that wonderful woman, you were.
