[QUOTE="Crimson, post: 289255, member: 5079"] I admit, I am perhaps the most ambivalent about Liz out of all of the classic film stars. There's no denying her beauty, that's for sure. From the mid-50s to early-60s, I think she was the most beautiful woman ever put on film. Even Marilyn at her most luminous couldn't hold a candle to Liz in her prime. I think Liz was also a truly great star. I would have no argument about her being one of the Top 10, or even Top 5, greatest female stars of the classic era. Unlike most of them, she seemed like a really great person too: a witty broad with a great zest for life, and a kind hearted humanitarian. Judging her as an actor is where my ambivalence kicks in. Objectively, I think she's no worse than most of her peers among the 40s and 50s glamour girls, and better than a few of them. But ... her voice. Kathleen Turner -- who knows a thing or two about voices -- has said Liz had a bad voice that she used badly. I have to agree. At best, her voice was kind of flat; at worst, ear piercingly shrill. I get a headache just thinking about re-watching SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER or WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? [/QUOTE]
