Film legend Elizabeth Taylor dies at 79 in LA
LOS ANGELES – Elizabeth Taylor, the violet-eyed film goddess whose sultry screen persona, stormy personal life and enduring fame and glamour made her one of the last of the classic movie stars and a template for the modern celebrity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], died Wednesday at age 79.
She was surrounded by her four children when she died of congestive heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where she had been hospitalized for about six weeks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said publicist Sally Morrison.
"My mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love," her son,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Michael Wilding,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], said in a statement.
"The shock of Elizabeth was not only her beauty. It was her generosity. Her giant laugh. Her vitality, whether tackling a complex scene on film or where we would all have dinner until dawn," Nichols said in a statement. "She is singular and indelible on film and in our hearts."
Taylor was the most loyal of friends and a defender of gays in Hollywood when AIDS was new to the industry and beyond. But she was afflicted by ill health, failed romances (eight marriages,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], seven husbands) and personal tragedy.
