From CBS –

Legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor has died at the age of 79.

The actress, who won Oscars for her performances in “BUtterfield 8” and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” died Wednesday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles from congestive heart failure, publicist Sally Morrison said.

I am never able to think of Elizabeth Taylor without thinking of Richard Burton. I am a product of my age. Here is a clip from The Sandpiper. I was nine when the movie was released. Their marriages and marital difficulties were a news background for most of my formative years.
