Along with Marilyn Monroe, I think Elizabeth Taylor is the most beautiful woman in the world, but just like with Kim Novak I think Elizabeth’s beauty can’t be fully appreciated until you’ve seen her on the screen, and I didn’t quite “get” her until I did. She has the perfect face and the perfect figure, and I love her distinctive voice and how different it is from the standard trained low Hollywood voice. Elizabeth’s voice can be shrill and high pitched, and yet so lovely. She also had great personal style, and of course some of the best jewels ever.

Elizabeth Taylor is easily one of my favourite actresses, she’s just amazing in every part I’ve seen her in, and it would be hard to choose a favourite of her movies.

I have tons of photos of Elizabeth so even with a severely narrowed down selection this will be a double post, and there will probably be more in the future.
