To the 85-th anniversary of Elizabeth Taylor: 15 witty quotes fatal актрисы27 February marks 85 years since the birth of the great Elizabeth Taylor — Queen of the Hollywood era of its heyday. In honor of this date “Movie Mail.Ru” recalls the most vivid statements of the legendary diva.
“Taylor was conspicuous beauty, — told “AIF” people’s artist. — The beauty is difficult to judge. But the impression Elizabeth made a contradictory… Remember, we were supposed to have lunch on the cruiser, which came from the United States on a friendly visit to Leningrad. The whole group waited a long time for Taylor — she then starred in the film “Blue bird” on the thumbnail. Taylor had to wait long, I became angry, wanted to tell everybody to turn: “you know, well, I also, in General, a woman and actress.”
But finally Elizabeth Taylor appeared. Was absolutely not in the mood, totally did not react neither on us nor on anyone. And only when she saw the two children who starred with her in film, she them started to chat and somehow a little happier. But unfortunately, her mood soured when she learned that the Navy’s ban on alcohol. Then Taylor really discouraged. She perked up when she saw the pretty young Soviet sailor. It involved a woman, she began to smile, casting flirtatious glances.
Her appearance was unusual — I mean the asymmetry of the face.

It was a completely double life. In the spotlight Taylor sought to impress still shining Queen. And the house really drunk.
She died completely alone. It was a very full, absolutely patient, who suffered many illnesses, brain surgery, woman. Trampled inglorious end of his career and personal life.
