Elizabeth Taylor is one of the most iconic and famous film actresses in movie history. She was a contract for close to 20 years, spanning from 1942 to 1960. Her star-making vehicle was NATIONAL VELVET (1944), in which she played a young girl who masquerades as a boy to enter a horse race. It was FATHER OF THE BRIDE (1950) and A PLACE IN THE SUN (1951) that introduced her to adult roles, while movies like GIANT (1956) and CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF (1958) proved her a talented dramatic actress. She was the first female to receive $1 million for a single acting role when she agreed to play CLEOPATRA (1963), a movie with a troubled production that is probably more famous than the film itself. She eventually legitimized herself by winning two Oscars for BUTTERFIELD 8 (1960) and WHO&#039;S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? (1966), receiving the acclaim from her peers that had previously alluded her. 

She was a star for over 60 years. She appeared in film, television, and theatre. Few legends can boast as much. 

I&#039;ve always had a soft spot for Elizabeth Taylor. CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF is one of my favorite classic movies, thanks in no small part to Taylor&#039;s iconic performance as Maggie the Cat. Famous for being famous, I remember seeing Taylor on TV when I was a kid. I remember when she died in 2011 and I got all the magazines I could with her on them -- I even got double prints of some of them, I&#039;m sure. 

I think it&#039;s alright for Elizabeth Taylor to have her own thread. She was due for one.
