Elizabeth Taylor My Final Thoughts

Following Hollywood news the way I do, I could not help but anticipate the recent departure of Elizabeth Taylor.  For me her passing is a symbolic closing of the final chapter in Hollywood's classic era.  Elizabeth was one of the last big contract players to be signed and work under the studio star system.  Although the era has been gone for more than 50 years, having the likes of stars such as Elizabeth Taylor amongst us bridged that gap in time. There is no doubt she lead a life of imperfection, trials and hardships.  Somehow through it all she managed to find meaningful purpose and live a fulfilling life.  Yes the era of La Liz is gone, but happily her memory will live on through her tireless humanitarian work and films in which she graced the silver screen. Here's looking at you Ms. Taylor.
