HAVING GIVEN US THE MOST MAGNIFICENT Cleopatra there ever was and having been born with the most envy-inducing double-row-eyelash "mutation", not to mention all the jewelry we could only ever dream of, Elizabeth Taylor will forever be to us, a paragon of glamor. A queen. A star.
Rest in peace.
Elizabeth Taylor, 27 February 1932 – 23 March 2011.
