What can I really say about this legend, this Hollywood movie star. Since she was a little girl she was an actress. I remember watching National Velvet - she was so good in it and so beautiful - what gorgeous violet eyes!! She transitioned so freely into an adult star. She was in so many great movies - Giant with Rock Hudson (a dear friend of hers), Father of the Bride (the original one) to Father's Little Dividend with Spencer Tracy, Ivanhoe, Rhapsody, Cat on a hot tin roof, BUtterfield 8, Cleopatra and Whose afraid of Virginia Wolff with Richard Burton. She won two Academy Awards for BUtterfield 8 and Whose afraid of Virginia Wolff? She also was in two soap operas. I do think one of her biggest accomplishments was her fight against AIDS. She was married eight times and twice to Richard Burton.
She truly was one of America's greatest actresses and old world glamour. She will be missed.
