She made some fabulous movies and is a screen legend. Stunning beauty as a young woman.
She was also my stake on the Coffin Club list 5 years ago - I wish I had still been in that club.
Say it ain't so.

Originally posted by SmookiePThat's a great movie indeed. It is so hard to pick a movie where she was prettiest. National Velvet one can see the emerging beauty yet plenty of pretty child stars don't blossom. Taylor did. The irony of historic characters being played by a beauty like Taylor is that reality was so different. Cleopatra for instance, was short, skinny, waify, ugly and saved only by the beauty of her eyes, gorgeous skin and towering intellect. Had a nose that was like a beak and in latter years was bug eyed from a goiter!
