  1. I have always been intrigued with her allure. She is beautiful, and so are other women of her time. Yet she .. had an effect on people. It seemed as if she knew how the movie world spun and she was comfortable and easy about partaking. My favorite story was how she always got gifts of a jewel of some kind for every picture, on top of her salary. Maybe it’s because women are rarely seen asking for anything!

  2. Good ol’ Liz. I was just thinking about her last weekend on Oscar Sunday because seriously, who has a jewelry collection these days like the one she amassed? I love her for it. Forget all this jewelry borrowing, I want to see a dame like Liz who OWNED all those amazing pieces!

  3. I never did understand the whole “Eddie Fisher” thing; but Richard Burton??? Now THAT I got big time!! What a fabulous man! They couldn’t live together, but I don’t think they were ever truly happy apart. Now they are together. It makes me smile to think of it.
