| Biography (TMDB): | Dame Elizabeth Rosemond "Liz" Taylor, DBE (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was a British-American actress. From her early years as a child star with MGM, she became one of the great screen actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age. As one of the world's most famous film stars, Taylor was recognized for her acting ability and for her glamorous lifestyle, beauty and distinctive violet eyes. National Velvet (1944) was Taylor's first success, and she starred in Father of the Bride (1950), A Place in the Sun (1951), Giant (1956), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), and Suddenly, Last Summer (1959). She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for BUtterfield 8 (1960), played the title role in Cleopatra (1963), and married her co-star Richard Burton. They appeared together in 11 films, including Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), for which Taylor won a second Academy Award. From the mid-1970s, she appeared less frequently in film, and made occasional appearances in television and theatre. Her much publicized personal life included eight marriages and several life-threatening illnesses. From the mid-1980s, Taylor championed HIV and AIDS programs; she co-founded the American Foundation for AIDS Research in 1985, and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in 1993. She received the Presidential Citizens Medal, the Legion of Honour, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award and a Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute, who named her seventh on their list of the "Greatest American Screen Legends". Taylor died of congestive heart failure at the age of 79. |

Butterfield 8

smokingsides
Given an initial scene in which she wakes up and picks through the dog-ends desperate for her first smoke of the day, coughing on and rejecting a cigar, then offering a cab driver double his tip for a cigarette, it is surprising how little she smokes in this film. She lights in a short scene with no apparent inhale and is later seen briefly holding. What a let down! |
Night Watch
|
smokingsides
0:11 - Sits on edge of bed in nightgown and lights up. Subsequent drags not in good light. 0:23 - One drag, stub-out. 0:25 - Closeup cut-in just as she lights up; no subsequent drags. 1:32 - Light-up, couple of exhales. |
Suddenly, Last Summer
|
smokingsides
has some wonderful scenes of her desiring and smoking cigarettes |
The Girl Who Had Everything
|
smokingsides
Elizabeth twice inclines her head sideways to accept a light. On the first occasion she puffs out a good cloud of uninhaled smoke before getting down to business with an immediate solid drag, removing the cigarette from her lips with a partial nose exhale before kissing her partner on the lips. On the second occasion she inhales direct from the lighting, but exhales immediately. She is also seen holding at a table and dragging and nose-exhaling in the background. |
The V.I.P.s
|
smokingsides
(At least) Three drags and exhales, including a talk-exhale. |
These Old Broads
|
smokingsides
Just one scene near the start,when the ladies meet at Elizabeth Taylor's house. [Collins] lights up with her usual style and has several inhales, as well as a few good holding shots. |
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
|
smokingsides
about 8 scenes; very nice dangling at the beginning; great light ups; disappointing 2nd half of the film with only one smoking scene; worth watching |
