My favorite was "Butterfield 8"
In fur coat and slip, she looked great
Those violet eyes
made temperatures rise
The last of her kind, no debate
Elizabeth Taylor, actress, humanitarian and screen beauty has passed away, leaving behind a fine passel of great films and performances.
To woman from child all on screen
ReplyDeleteHer private life, not all that keen
Had illnesses plenty
and husbands were many
but still remained Hollywood's Queen
In National Velvet she rode
ReplyDeleteLike cat on a hot roof she strode
Call Butterfield 8
If V. Woolf you hate
Her red Cleopatra blood flowed
On "Cleo" set, she kept a-flirtin'
ReplyDeletewith co-star, the great Richard Burton
The duo was love-struck
and couldn't get unstuck
while Eddie sat home, heart a-hurtin'
You are inspired--keep going.
ReplyDeleteA one-of-a-kind they call Liz
ReplyDeleteA legend that grew in the biz
From child star matured
So many allured
Eight towel sets marked 'hers' and 'his'
This made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteRight thru my tears.
Liz Taylor is finally gone
ReplyDeleteThe spotlight forever withdrawn
To this mythical diva
herewith we say "Viva!"
She's resting in peace, Forest Lawn
