Farewell Liz...

Elizabeth Taylor inspired so many fantastic characters, choosing one today was next to impossible.  I decided that I had to do an homage to National Velvet.

I don't remember the first time I saw that movie but I know it sparked a desire not only to ride but to own a horse.  Something my beloved father was more than willing to do for me as a young girl.  Like so many other things we desire in life, if it is not a true love and desire, we let it go and move onto the next thing.  I did, but I have never forgotten the pure joy of watching the movie.

Such a beautiful face

The most beautiful Liz!

I said I had a hard time choosing one film from Elizabeth Taylor's body of work.  I thought of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Giant, Who's Afraid of Virgina Wolf , The Taming Of The Shrew, Cleopatra and my all time favorites Father Of The Bride and Fathers Little Dividend.  However, one movie she made always stood slightly apart from the others for me - Butterfield 8.

I know, I know - Elizabeth Taylor playing a call girl!  Wow, she was truly amazing in that role!
