Legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor has died. She was 79. Taylor had been hospitalized for several weeks at
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and apparently succumbed to congestive heart failure.
She appeared in more than 50 movies, from the children's classic "National Velvet" and the sentimental family comedy "Father of the Bride" to Oscar-winning transgressions in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "Butterfield 8." The historical epic "Cleopatra" is among Hollywood's greatest on-screen performances.
Taylor won three Academy Awards, including a special one for her humanitarian work. She was a defender of gays in Hollywood when AIDS was still a stigma in the industry and beyond. But she was afflicted by ill health, failed romances (seven husbands).
Hollywood will miss one of the most beautiful actresses and loyal friends of all time.
