Even tho you know it's gonna happen one day or another; it's still a shock to read about it.

I just found out myself. How depressing.

Rest in peace Elizabeth.... now you can finally be with Richard again.

That's sad, although I know her health had not been good for a long while.

Sadly there are not too many of that special generation left now. RIP.

How very sad, such a beautiful and talented woman. Quite ironic too, that she has been mentioned recently, by so many loungers, on the "girl crushes" thread.

Elizabeth Taylor was the living proof that beauty IS more than skin deep. RIP, we will always remember you for the joy you brought us with your films, but more for the beauty of your heart and soul.

Even though I was not a fan of many of her performances, I always thought she was one of the true American icons of film. As I saw mentioned somewhere yesterday she was not a celebrity, she was a STAR in every way and there will never be another like her.

Rest In Peace, Elizabeth.

Jill Haworth, the original Sally Bowles in the Broadway version of Cabaret has died. Her acting debut was in the film Exodus, many many years ago. She also played a doomed ingenue in the John Wayne WW II naval epic, "In Harm's Way". I couldn't even find an obit, but I saw a post on Facebook.

“Society looked down on me for becoming an actress, but I don’t miss society, ” she told the gossip columnist Earl Wilson in 1965

heres an obit

I got to attend a Q&A he did at Film Forum a couple years back. He was an elegant and seemingly kind gentleman. May he rest in peace.

 

[MikeBravo]

Was he still alive? I thought he left some time ago

I love the quote in his obituary “Next to sex, laughs are the best things in the world.”
