A true beauty who lived her life to the fullest and used her name and money to help many causes close to her heart.The word “Star’ is thrown around too easily sometimes but Elizabeth Taylor was a true star in every sense of the word!!!!
R.I.P Elizabeth Taylor. I first started watching GH, when she was Helena Cassadine.
Im so sad ,I loved this Lady,she was a wonderful person.
All these moments you have brought us,Michael, are outstanding. I did not forget them, but it was lovely to remember.So many great moments between Luke and Laura.They choke me up. And to be able to see Liz Taylor with that gorgeous face was a wonderful memory of a great lady. I will always remembe her and her movies and her loves. Rest in peace Elizabeth….Thanks again, Michael…….
Bless you, Elizabeth. We love you!
