Always In Our Hearts

Three days ago, we lost one of the most beautiful, and possibly the last, of the greats of the silver screen. Elizabeth Taylor was, and in all our hearts still is, an inspiration and testimony on how they don't make them like they used to. She died on May 23, early in the morning, of congestive heart failure at the age of 79. It's sad to think that throughout my lifetime, most of these stars have already died, or will soon. But their memory will forever be preserved in their accomplishments and, anmely, movies and photographs.
Born Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor on February 27, 1932(1932-02-27) Hampstead Garden Suburb, London, she went on to become a child star in movies such as Lassie Come Home. Most known for her violet eyes and unique beauty, throughout her life she had many husbands and fun stories to go along with them :) She won two academy awards for her performances in BUtterfield 8 in 1960, and for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in 1966), as well as the title Dame, from Queen Elizabeth II. She also devoted a good part of her life to helping those in the fight with AIDS. A true Hollywood legend.
It also seems that Elizabeth had a twitter! One of her last tweets, from July, saying: "You are who you are. All you can do in this world is help others to be who they are and better themselves and those around them." And that she did. We will forever miss you Dame Elizabeth.
