The girl with the violet eyes had an almost disturbing doll woman face in the body of a child since her Lassie movies and National Velvet. Her eight marriages and seven husbands (Richard Burton: lucky twice). The "sister" of Monty Clift. Maggie the Cat, in my favorite movie of hers: Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. Jimmy Dean and Rock Hudson fighting for her love in the epic americana Giant. The first to earn a million dollar contract, and forever Cleopatra, in Cleopatra. Martha in Who's afraid of Virginia Woolf. With Hudson again plus Kim Novak and Tony Curtis in The Mirror Cracked. Her smoking habit and premature delicate health. Her activism fighting Aids.The tabloids...Asking to my mother, when i was around ten, about the best actress in the world: Elizabeth Taylor, was her straight answer. Today i don't think mom was too wrong.
Last sunday Diana and me went to see The Woodster and his New Orleans Jazz Band playing at the very respectable Cirkus Stockholm. The following is a piece of guerrilla filmmaking. Forbidden taking pictures and recording any sounds. Hence, the shaky camera. But what don't we do for you, Dear Guelylanders. We made this little video with a piece of the action. Enjoy!
