Elizabeth Taylor, the last of the great Hollywood studio stars and the first of the modern mega-celebrities, died today in Los Angeles of congestive heart failure. Although seemingly ageless, she was in fact 79.
She was nominated for five Oscars and won twice, for "Butterfield 8" (1961) and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf" (1967). She married eight times, twice to Richard Burton.
She called her close friend Michael Jackson "the most normal person I know." She had her 60th birthday party at Disneyland.
Her motto, she once told TV Guide: "The more, the better."
