"An arrangement made with God, my mother, and Louis B. Mayer made me this person, this product, you know as Elizabeth Taylor. I showed up. I took light and directions and lots and lots of notes. I'm proud of the work. But what I most care about--always cared about--was being a good friend, a helpful person--and I'm happiest when someone tells me that I did that, that I became that person. The rest is fate, beshert, dumb luck. But the good person? I worked hard at that." -- Elizabeth Taylor/Interview with James Grissom/From "The Complete Divinity."
Breathtaking.
Sexy.
Artistic & Silly
Loving.
“She is shy and witty, she is nobody’s fool, she is a brilliant actress, she is beautiful beyond the dreams of pornography, she can be arrogant and willful, she is clement and loving, Dulcis Imperatrix, she is Sunday’s child, she can tolerate my impossibilities and my drunkenness, she is an ache in the stomach when I am away from her, and she loves me!” ~ Richard Burton on Elizabeth Taylor
From my journal, a selection from a pictorial on Taylor and Burton from Vanity Fair magazine.
The quote reads: "I think they had fights for the glory of making up," recalls Rod Taylor.
"It was foreplay to them."
