I've been reading the tributes to the late Dame Elizabeth Taylor but I've yet come across that captured her particular magic. Sure she was an early acknowledged beauty - one of the greatest perhaps, but she was also quite stout. She was not all that stylish or elegant or refined - in fact, what I adore about her is her lusty vulgarity, and her wackiness and eccentricities through the years. She's unpretentious and humourous. I shall miss her, the last one of the greats, and a true icon.

Goodbye, Liz

That's all true but she has a construction worker sense of humour and a heart as big as her butt in her later years. She's lived a full life that's for sure and she couldn't have achieved all she did if she was dim or dull. Beauties are a dime a dozen but a superstar ? That's really something else.
