The Definition of Hollywood Glamour

Ever since I heard the news of the passing of the great Elizabeth Taylor I have been wanting to do a post and share some of my favorite photos of her! I have always been a HUGE fan of Elizabeth Taylor!! I grew up watching old movies with my Mom and hearing my Mom talk about her and so I guess I just grew up loving her and having a appreciation for old Hollywood!

There has never been, nor will there ever be anyone like here! She was one of a kind!! Two of my favorite movies she's in is the original Father of The Bride and then GIANT. GIANT is one of my favorite older movies. Not only does it have her in it, but it also has the handsome Rock Hudson and James Dean. GIANT was the last movie James Dean ever made, which makes it that much more interesting to watch. If you haven't seen it, you need too!!

Another thing I love about Elizabeth Taylor is her amazing jewelry collection. She has some of the most jaw dropping jewels, most given to her by the loves of her life!

"Success is a great deodorant. It takes away all your past smells."

"I suppose when they reach a certain age some men are afraid to grow up. It seems the older the men get, the younger their new wives get."

"My mother says I didn't open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked."

"I have a woman's body and a child's emotions."

"Big girls need big diamonds."

"I'm a survivor - a living example of what people can go through and survive."
