I read that Liz Taylor, 74, is close to death so I asked my kids if they knew who Liz Taylor was--not a one of them recognized the name.
She was huge in my parents generation and particularly famous for her many marriages, including one to Conrad Hilton Jr. and Senator John Warner. She was widely considered to be the most beautiful woman in the world in her youth, and then the world's best-paid actress for her work in Cleopatra.
Its a little strange to recognize that even someone as crazy-famous as Elizabeth Taylor can fade into relative obscurity in a couple of generations.

I wonder if this is true. The press has been predicting her death since the seventies. Remember the tracheotomy, pneumonia, etc.?

Liz Taylor was smokin' hot in her day as your photo illustrates. But age comes to us all. Then Michael Jackson glommed on to her and...
But catch LT in Butterfield 8 to see a classic Hollywood hottie in action.
