R.I.P. Elizabeth Taylor

Sandra Rose March 23, 2011

According to online reports, Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor passed away today of congestive heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. She was 79.

The former child star and two-time Academy Award winner was most famous for her films “National Velvet,” “Cleopatra,” and “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”

She was also notable for her impressive diamond jewelry collection and her notorious love life, which included 8 marriages to 7 men (she married actor Richard Burton twice).

“I never planned to acquire a lot of jewels or a lot of husbands,” Taylor said in her last major interview with Harper’s Bazaar magazine. “I have been supremely lucky in my life in that I have known great love, and of course, I am the temporary custodian of some incredible and beautiful things.”

Megan Fox wishes. Maybe somebody told her that at some point so she thought she could act anyway she wanted to. She ruined her career with her bad attitude.

Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman in a Cat on a Hot Tin Roof now that’s a hot azz couple.

RIP Ms. Hilton-Wilding-Todd-Fisher-Burton-Warner-Fortensky Taylor

I knew that Cleopatra wasn’t black. She was was from the Ptolemy dynasty which were from Greece. The race of her maternal side is unknown.

Nooo! This is so sad!! I love Elizabeth Taylor (my mom loves her even more). I’ve probably seen more movies starring her than anyone else (love old movies). Very good actress, very beautiful (inside & out) giving her time to charities. BTW, her White Diamonds perfume smells so good.

RIP Elizabeth Taylor. She lived pretty long. Wasn’t she good friends with Michael Jackson. I wonder how she died.

Liz Taylor was an icon. She’s was one of my favorite actresses. Loved her in National Velvet.

Anyway, who said Cleopatra wasn’t black? Don’t believe everything they tell you. Check out “Return to Glory: European Distortion of African History” on youtube.

Her movies are classics. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Cleopatra, Giant and Elephant Walk are my favorites. Oh and Father of the Bride. I hope TMC or AMC runs all of her movies so I can record them.

She was such a beautiful spirit and very talented. Hollywood has lost a jewel. R.I.P. Elizabeth Taylor

Cleopatra was not black. Her family came into rule after Alexander the Great stole Egypt (basically).

Nefertiti however is of Egyptian ancestry.

You can actually look at the busts of Cleopatra and see that she wasn’t black. Her features are actually very greek and very plain.

********************

Acutally after a little research I have learned that Cleopatra’s full racial identity is simply unknown. No one today knows or has documentation that says who or what her mother was. Furthermore she has never been described as black in historical documents. So who the heck knows?

Thanks for the history lesson!
