Elizabeth Taylor.

Amazing video showcasing Elizabeth in her own words. Clips talking of Rock Hudson, a movie on her life, AIDS, Life, Love, Knowledge!

"I have never wanted to be a queen! Cleopatra was a role, and I am an actor, so it was fun to play one, but it’s not real. The real Cleopatra had an incredibly complicated life, and she had to be very, very canny to survive as long as she did. For me, the most interesting thing about her was her passion. The things that are important to me—being a mother, a businesswoman, an activist—are all things that were borne out of great passion."

I decided to paint tonight… it was based on a Richard Avedon photograph of Elizabeth Taylor but it doesn’t really resemble her at all, does it? Anyway, it’s unfinished but I’d share it anyway.
