IN MEMORIAM: Elizabeth Taylor, 1932-2011

Filed Under: In Memoriam

Film icon Elizabeth Taylor passed away today in Los Angeles at the age of 79. The reported cause is congestive heart failure. The two-time Academy Award-winning actress appeared in over 50 films, including Cleopatra, Raintree County and, my personal favorite, the film version of Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. And besides dazzling movie goers for more than 70 years, she put her celeb status to good use as a devout champion for AIDS-related charities, founding the American Foundation for AIDS Research and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation.

Rest in peace, sister. We'll miss you dearly. Oh, and give Michael Jackson our best "hee-hee!"
