Sad news today that screen legend and humanitarian Elizabeth Taylor, 74, might be near death. She was diagnosed in 2004 with congestive heart failure after a lifetime of ill health.
Taylor has already raised more than $50 million for AIDS-related causes, and it sounds as if her immense generosity won't end with her death:
"She's not leaving a lot of money to her children. She wants the bulk of her fortune to go to AIDS research."
Classy lady. While many will always remember her for her timeless beauty, it's her beautiful soul that has made a more meaningful impact.
yeah.. sad news. she's been a batty old broad for some time now, but no one ever came to bat for the gay community like liz especially when aids was devastating us and NObody gave a crap. i'll never forget her saying shocking, just SHOCKING things like "without gay people there would be no hollywood" ..
makes me a little weepy. hope that whenever she passes that's it's peaceful and that she knows how grateful we are for her bravery and relentless fundraising to help beat the plague of our times. stay healthy old girl, cause we're sure gonna miss you when you're gone.
