Elizabeth Taylor Appears For A Good Cause

Filed under: Elizabeth Taylor

Dame Elizabeth Taylor made a rare public appearance on Thursday night at the Macy's fundraiser fashion show for AIDS in Santa Monica.

This was Taylor's first public appearance since MJ's funeral, and although Dame Liz is confined to a wheelchair due to the curvature in her spine, Taylor was looking absolutely radiant.

She didn't say all too much, but Taylor joked with the crowd, telling them, "I would have married Richard Burton a third time."

Cute.

Liz helped organize the Macy's Passport HIV/AIDS foundation, which has raised over $28 million dollars for AIDS research, care and education over the past 27 years.

Inspiring!

      She was a good actress. Watch "Whose Afraid of Virginia Woolf"…fantastic. Very beautiful in her 20's too with violet eyes.

      It's crazy, I am almost done reading her biography and it's soo fascinating to see how so in love she still is with Richard Burton. It is a bittersweet story between them two, and she is an awesome woman.

      It is crazy reading about this woman's dedication to AIDS research. I read all about why and when she started it because of the death of her beloved gay actor freind Rock Hudson. She is very appreciated among the gay community and in the book it say's she surrounded her self with flamboyant gay men.

      Perez-you are a tool. How can you question Ashlee Simpson leaving her place without a full top yet it's ok for GaGa to go out in no pants? Hypocrite!

      She's one of the last Hollywood Studious contract Actresses left. Defitatly led charmed life. Must of been real piece of work though going through so many marriages.

      She's a wonderful woman. I hope she doesn't die this year too!

      Re: Canadiana* – I am right behind you. Let's do it. But it is a great cause. She is a great lady! Hell we don't even need a half hour. 15 minutes and I'm gone.

      Re: PerezTheBlogNazi – She also had a family member die of aides. And she has been in the Gay Community since the 50's. Montgomery Cliff, Rock Hudson and more. I love her. She is real. And she was a good friend to MJ! Liz you rock! I get her love for Burton that man can read a phone book and I'd be ready for him. Burton was one of the best actors of his time and sexy to boot! Ah, yeah she would have married him a third time.

      Re: Paris France – Oh, yeah it was her son's wife Aileen or Ailena or something like that. Is she dead now? In the book it said she was still alive doing things for AIDS and she remarried. It said she contracted AIDS from cheatng on Elizabeths son Michael I think. They had kids too but divorced.

      Re: Paris France – Well read my friend. I think she is still alive. So much research has been keeping people healthy and strong with this disease. i hope one day they find a cure! The same for cancer and diabetes.
      One can only hope and pray! Liz has a heart and it is in the right place. Oh, i left out Roddy McDowell. They played in Lassie Come Home. They will never be another Liz Taylor!



    26. 26
