My Take
I'll be honest, Elizabeth Taylor is the closest thing old Hollywood ever had to actual royalty, and I never get tired of those violet eyes burning a hole through the screen. She started as a kid in National Velvet and somehow grew into a force, two Best Actress Oscars and the kind of magnetism you can't teach. I love that she was messy and human about it too, all those marriages and the diamonds and the drama, never apologizing for living loud. But the part that really gets me is what she did with that fame, throwing her whole weight behind AIDS advocacy when most of her peers wouldn't say the word out loud. Glamorous, gutsy, deeply generous. They genuinely don't make stars like her anymore, and I miss that voltage.
