R.I.P. Liz Taylor

[targa911S]

Dead at age 79. Oh those lavender eyes no more. The end of a hollywood era.

[kach22i]

R.I.P. indeed, roller coaster of a life.

[bivenator]

She was a looker. I hope she is wearing a low cut dress and a big hat in heaven because on earth it was marvelous.

[tabs]

Ohhh u mean maggie the cat has passed away????

[Tobra]

finally got knocked off that roof, she was pretty screamin' hot back in the 1950's

Dad's fave, I was always a fan of Grace myself.

RIP Liz.

I am 20 and touring Europe on my 850 Norton Commando. On a country road outside of Reading there's a white XKE at the side of the road, and a woman flagging me down with a silk scarf. It's Liz. Painted on the door next to the handle is a small gold Pegasus with the words "Liz Taylor" in fine script. As if she needed an introduction. She's out of petrol. Forgot to look at the gauge. I volunteer to go find a can and come back. She flirts and asks if she can come along. So there we are: just me and Liz, cruising through English country lanes on my Norton, with that sensational chest of hers pressing hard into my back.

I think she was on the tail end of her second marriage to Burton at the time and must have been north of 40. Even so, she looked impossibly glamorous to me—and was clearly light years removed from my low world of motorcycles, campgrounds and cheap eats. I'll never forget that encounter. She was 200% woman.

Paul's 356 is at her grandson's house, he's been helping me with it for months @ no charge plus storing it for the last month. I guess we can't work on it today. So sad, I absolutely worshiped her. She was cooler than Fonzie.

That sound like the start af a Penthouse letter.

Great story. A different era. I wonder how many major A list stars today drive themselvs around alone.

Pretty much all of them. Do you have any knowledge of what you speak?

I don't mean drive around in Hollywood or So Cal, how about a woman alone in Europe or even out in the middle of nowhere. I really don't know anything about the lives of stars. I really don't give a hoot about them. I just figure Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston have some sort of entourage at all times. I had to Google the top actresses to come up with those names.

That she was. In every sense. In her physical appearance, and in the way she carried herself. A class act. And frankly, the lifelong romance between her and Mr. Burton is fairytale stuff. Romance at its human best. Not that I would care about such things, being a manly man and all, but just sayin'......

[sc_rufctr]

She was always glamorous and special.

RIP Liz.

one of the funniest men ever, and a noted collector of six-shooters to boot.

Sounds like you accidentally googled Brad Pitt wives. Didn't mean to come off rude back there, (damn internet), but it seems that there are always dumb paparazzi pics of movie stars getting speeding tickets, etc... I think they all drive cars, could be wrong.

RIP and Godspeed...
