Liz Taylor dies today at age 79........What does that have to do with Radio, you ask??
In 1959, when I was 13yrs old, at night, I would turn off my transistor radio and dream of the most beautiful woman on earth, LIZ TAYLOR.

I never got over the fascinating color of her eyes - among other things...
RIP Liz...
 
i was disgusted by the genuflecting and adoration abc news gave her yesterday in the evening news. nearly the full 30 minutes, plus niteline. japan, jerusalem, lybia, afghanistan, and they dedicate 30 minutes to a movie star? who gives a shit. you'd think the virgin mary had appeared on capitol hill and died. even more imortant to them, hillary clinton. holy crap. besides, natalie wood was far prettier.

natalie wood ......was my second Love....my post started out quite facetiously, but since you brought it up. She as was a hollywood icon,the most famous woman of her generation,not Charlie Sheen, any coverage she received, much like other past icons Bob Hope or Sinatra, she paid her dues for those accolades.

Thats how we treat celebrities, like it or not.

On a serious side..... This woman single handedly, forced the world to face the Aids crisis, as founder of Amfar she helped raise over 350 million, took on the Reagan Administration head-on over Aids. Her crusade has saved hundreds of thousands of lives around the world, not just the US.

Her personal life was held in ridicule, that's the price she paid for her celebrity, but give her her due for her humanitarian deeds in her final years, she had millions of fans ..except for one obvious cat on a hot tin roof. Today we will return to the middle east, business as usual.

I never cared for her either. She didn't exactly live an exemplary life. Hornet makes a good point though as now so many are fascinated by Charlie Sheen so what can we expect?
 
Of course she lived an exemplary life. She got married, didn't she?

Yes indeed, she was married - Hilton, Wilding, Todd, Fisher, Burton, Burton, Warner, Fortensky - but hey, who's counting.

Liz was a beautiful, extremely talented actress and she suffered the personal tragedies common to many of the early screen stars who rose to stardom at an early age. Natalie Wood, Shelley Winters and Mickey Rooney were two others come to mind. Liz was made famous at age 12 with her starring role in "National Velvet" and was the first star to demand $1,000,000 to appear in a motion picture, i.e., her role in "Cleopatra." Like her or not, her on-screen talents cannot be disregarded.

Today we have the likes of Charlie Sheen. Now, that's someone I can really do without. Totally, as the young folks are apt to say.
 
If I am not mistaken, Todd was her one true love, with Richard Burton being the closest thing to capturing it again - twice.
 
OK,please, all kidding aside, really, lets' get serious now:

Top Ten Reasons Liz Taylor Divorced Larry Fortensky

10. He kept asking for increases in his allowance

9. He was always whining about the chicken bones and empty soda cans in the bed

8. It dawned on her that she was married to Larry Fortensky

7. 20% Off coupon slipped under her windshield wiper by a local divorce lawyer

6. The liquor and pills finally wore off

5. He dozed off during their tenth daily screening of "National Velvet"

4. Every time they had sex she'd need a new hip

3. The "ungodly stench" he complained about turned out to be her latest fragrance

2. Suddenly, Michael Jackson was available

1. Force of habit
 
Now this time, really, all kidding aside.

You have to hand it to a person who not only plans to be late for her own funeral but actually pulls it off.

Surely Liz and W.C. Fields are together somewhere laughing. (Rumor has it that W.C. Fields has the epitaph "All things considered, I'd rather be in Philadelphia" on his tombstone. Not really - he talked about it in real life but his tombstone at Forest Lawn in Glendale, California simply reads "W. C. Fields 1880 - 1946".
