Surely she is the most beautiful and sensual woman who ever lived? Those eyebrows! "The most violet eyes I've ever seen," thats what people said, though they just look intensely blue to me. If you've never seen the woman act, wait until you get to the bottom of this post, and see her in action as a drunken, bitter professors wife in Who's Afraid of Virgina Woolf, her finest hour.
She can lasso me, anytime
The eyes have it
By Richard Avedon, photographed 1964 when she was 32
In 1940 - an adorable 8-year-old
Here she is in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, in my opinion, her finest hour as an actor.
She won the Best Actress Oscar for this in 1967.
Goodbye Liz and Rest In Peace.
You will never be forgotton.

ReplyDeleteUtterly beautiful. Love her in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof too.
ReplyDeleteMy parents had the good fortune to meet her and found her lively, humourous and very "real".
ReplyDeleteAnd they did say she had violet eyes. Mom said they were mesmerizing and the most beautiful she had ever seen.
She was so beautiful and so inspiring!
