I was saddened to hear of the passing of the famed actress Elizabeth Taylor. No one can deny that she lived a fruitful, not to mention an eventful life. Her beauty was something to behold; a testament to her many marriages.
Her movies will live beyond all of the crap that is produced today. But I will say the one I liked the most was the one I had watched this past year: National Velvet. It was one of her first movies and yet, it was the first time I had ever watched it. Thank you TCM.
The race scene was something to behold. I stood the whole time cheering for the Pie, which is rather embarrassing considering my age; thank God no one was around to witness my juvenile behavior, and since I was alone; I indulged.
Mickey Rooney did a masterful job; his acting added to the suspense. I do hope that TCM will rebroadcast this great film. I tried to find a video of that race and could only produce this trailer:
Elizabeth Taylor maybe gone, but she will never be forgotten.
