Here’s an excerpt:
The unmistakeable Elizabeth Taylor, circa 1973.
Is it possible to miss someone who existed only as a shimmering image?
For me, that someone is Elizabeth Taylor, who died March 23, age 79.
And the answer is a resounding yes.
I never met her, and I saw her in person just once, at a Cannes Film Festival event where she was mobbed by adoring fans.
Yet I’ve always thought of her as the ultimate movie star, as I wrote at the time of her death. Her passing robs Hollywood of a big part of its glamour.
The lady with the violet eyes brought an Egyptian queen to life (Cleopatra), made a call girl awesome and empathetic (Butterfield 8), turned a living room toxic (Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?), scratched like an angry feline (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof) and made horses — and hearts — leap (National Velvet).
Married eight times, plus two embraces with a golden guy named Oscar, Taylor made for inestimable gossip fodder, for the curious, the shocked and the jealous.
Yet she was a consummate actress, a bearer of that elusive glow known as stardom. She was undeniably sexy, even in her later years, yet she could also play unglamorous roles. She invested all of her characters with a magnetism that few bring to the screen.
There was really no one like Elizabeth Taylor, and I shall miss her.
