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.

The Telegraph obituary: Elizabeth Taylor: famous like no-one else
Plus yet another gorgeous slideshow from them too, focussing on Liz as a style icon.

Need we say more?

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.

And of course there is paydirt over at LIFE.

• Unpublished Pics Many of her as a teen - and with our man, Monty, Lou!
• Elizabeth Taylor's Many Hats God bless the person who compiled this
• Wedding Photos How can there be only 13 photos in this slidehow??
• LIFE magazine covers No one has appeared more times than her

I'm a fan of Elizabeth Taylor. Not so much of the big-haired perfume-flogging 1980s Elizabeth Taylor, but more of the big-haired eyelash-batting 1960s Elizabeth Taylor.

When Michael Jackson died earlier this year, my panicked thoughts turned to her. Her health was bad enough as it was! Would the shock of her weird friend passing on finally do her in?

Love you too, Liz!

These tweets are from Taylor's verified Twitter account. (Of course she tweets! Don't question the woman. She'll tweet when she wants and marry when she wants.)

Not to be a fearmonger, but I don't think this bodes well. I think it would be best if we all put on another layer of eyeliner, some sparkly jewellery and though happy thoughts. (If you are possessed by the urge to marry someone, then just go with the flow. WWETD?)
