i was just saying literally just last week that i thought it would be a very sad day when elizabeth taylor dies. i said "but she's kicking on, isn't she?" i didn't realise she was in hospital. and two nights ago i was watching her on tv in an adaptation of alcott's little women, as amy. i loved her in giant and even her cameo appearance in j g ballard's very crappy novel crash. i thought she was a cool person, with a very huge and charismatic voracious personality, who also managed to care about others. just paying respects.
