"I'm finally happy, because I'm doing something that really needs to be done. I'm needed for things other than my skin and my hair and my history--all that silly baggage that people still carry around for me. I'm not saying that films are worthless, but they pale in comparison to sitting at the bedside of a lonely person who needs to be loved or comforted. It's far more rewarding to sit in a waiting room with a family waiting for help and results than it is to wait for the thirteenth take of a scene. You see, I got smart and useful in my old age. There's hope for us all." --Elizabeth Taylor on her AIDS activism/Interview with James Grissom/1991/
From "Elizabeth Taylor: The Complete Divinity."
Magnificent until the end. Cherished forever.
