Rotten Tomatoes: A list - and the Tomato Rating - of all Elizabeth Taylor's films

Apparently she did some others too? In black and white?


Richard Burton was the love of Liz's life. A lot of the time he was a total herk off to her, but you can read on the Peculiar Beauty blog as he describes her in his own words.

Read up on them just to hear about the diamond he gave her if nothing else.

Do you want to bliss out on photos of NOT JUST Liz, but also James Dean and Dennis Hopper? Feast your eyes on this photographic celebration of Giant by The Selvedge Yard, which is about as long as the movie itself.

Love this. That's her on the mag cover too.
