Iconic is a word thrown around a lot but few people really are.
At the height of her screen power (1955-1970) Elizabeth Taylor
was the most famous film actress in the world. And one of the best
also. I think she knew more about screen acting than most actors
ever will. When you have the native intelligence that she did and you've been
doing it
since you were a child, you just get good at it. She was, in my book,
a great champion, like Muhammad Ali or Franklin Roosevelt or Picasso.
Several good books
have been written about her, but the most recent, FURIOUS LOVE.
really does give an idea of her life at the apogee of her career. I
recommend it.
