Tears are rolling down my cheeks just watching this. I miss her already as well. The world has lost a great lady. We are all better off for having her in this world. RIP Elizabeth.
Elizabeth Taylor deserves great credit for her work in assisting those members of the film community suffering with AIDS, as well as others afflicted. She was solely responsible for reviving the career of Montgomery Clift by insisting that Warner Bros. cast him opposite her in Reflections In A Golden Eye, after he had completed The Defector. She was supportive of Hudson and Dean as well.
The way her kids turned out is how I knew she was not like the stuff tabloids said about her. Nothing at all. They are all pretty normal people. The oldest, Michael Wilding Jr, is 71. Next his brother, Christopher, 69. Liza, 66 and Maria who is 61 or 62.
I get shivers down my spine when I remember her parts in Virginia Woolf and Cat On a Hot Tin Roof... the true legends of Hollywood are sadly almost all gone now...
It's great that Taylor received the AFI Life Achievement Award when she looked great and was healthy enough and ambulatory to receive it. She is overly modest- Taylor did outstanding work in A Place In The Sun, Suddenly Last Summer, Raintree County, and Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf.
Adore her! Not just her great talent and exquisite beauty, but her huge heart! Her enormous compassion. Her speaking up for Aids was trail blazing and one of her greatest accomplishments. On her watch, a lot of research money was raised. Bless her memory! She lives forever on screen.🌹
Yes she is Marilyn was beautiful but had work to get there. She had her chin done, breasts etc whereas Elizabeth Taylor was a staggeringly natural beauty This is not my having a dig at Marilyn tho. Both women's beauty will be forever more
Those Eyes & that beautiful Heart, Thanks Lizz for all the amazing movies you gave us but specially THANK YOU for the amazing work you did for Aids etc. We all miss you xoxo
Beautiful words, demonstrating once again that Elizabeth besides being a great actress was also a great woman. RIP dear Dame Elizabeth next to your friends and your love Richard.
What an absolutely wonderful lady. And she's so lovely for thanking those 4 outstanding gentlemen, who I agree with her, deserved this award too. She will be missed forever, but also forever in our hearts. RIP :[
BEAUTY, Class, passion and that is what made Elizabeth so special. If you had the honor of seeing her in person you know she was the most beautiful woman God ever created. Grace under pressure. REST in the arms f the angels D'Angelo Occhi. She spoke at this AFI awards with such grace, beauty & yes PASSION. A great unforgettable memory Luv.
Her performance in 'Giant" (1956) directed by George Stevens, was her greatest performance. In three hours, through many generations, her character embodied a strong willed, loving woman who as a loyal wife, devoted mother, loving ranch owner, embodied feminist & independent woman still captivates me to this day. It's a must see in all U.S., especially in schools & film festivals in the Southwest where anti-Mexican sentiment (a topic rarely discussed in films) is at an all-time high.
I just re-watched Virginia Woolf; I hadn’t seen it in years. By God, she was brilliant. Truly one of the great legendary screen performances. And she’d already done many other great roles before that. If you forget about the marriages, the jet-set lifestyle, the craziness of her life, she was at heart just a damn good actress.
I stopped watching the Oscars after she was given a paltry 5 seconds during the In Memoriam segment. For the previous forty years, Elizabeth Taylor WAS the Academy Awards.
What a personality! What a star! Her activism against AIDS and for the LGBT community as well as her cinematographic career, crowned in particular by 2 Oscars, make her a true legend. Well done ! Quelle personnalité ! Quelle star ! Son activisme contre le sida et pour la communautée LGBT ainsi que sa carrière cinématographique, courronée notamment par 2 oscars, font d'elle une véritable Légende. Bravo !
When she was married to Senator John Warner of Virginia, She was often in the state capitol of Richmond. I worked at the Medical College of Virginia as a young medical photographer, and one day I was coming back from the downtown area, late as usual getting back from lunch. I cut across the capitol grounds, head down and speed walking, almost running. As I cut across the sidewalk from the Capitol building I felt a presence and stopped just short of literally walking into those amazing violet eyes and their beautiful owner. I apologized, but in true English fashion Miss Taylor apologized to me for my almost running her over! I will regret all my life that I didn't have the wit to say I'm so sorry I almost killed you. Could I have your autograph? What a beautiful and gracious lady.
You're right, only she didn't revive his career cause he died before it went into production. Because Brando was a big admirer of Montgomery Clift, he agreed to be in it at short notice for a reduced salary.
I love Elizabeth Taylor and am a bit taken aback by this very "acted" speech. But still, thank you Elizabeth for your acting career and what you contributed to aid for Aids victims.
Actually, Dean's gay relationships are extensively documented and not something he was ashamed of. The most recent chronicling is in a new book about the making of Giant which has names, places, facts etc.
Why do people like Lynn make such factually incorrect statements with obviously zero knowledge of the truth. It wasn't even much of a secret back then!
There will never be another Elizabeth Taylor. What a dame.
A tribute that Elizabeth Taylor fully deserved. And a truly beautiful acceptance speech, straightforward, honest, deeply humble and supremely elegant.
Tears are rolling down my cheeks just watching this. I miss her already as well. The world has lost a great lady. We are all better off for having her in this world. RIP Elizabeth.

An incredible woman as an actress and as a compassionate lady who cared about all people around her on this planet. RIP Dame Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor is American
So nice her children were there to honor her. One could tell she raised them well.
The way her kids turned out is how I knew she was not like the stuff tabloids said about her. Nothing at all.
They are all pretty normal people.
The oldest, Michael Wilding Jr, is 71.
Next his brother, Christopher, 69. Liza, 66 and Maria who is 61 or 62.
ROCK HUDSON, Monty Clift and Jimmy Dean all were loved by Elizabeth. Sleep warm with your loves & dear friend's LUV.
A truly beautiful speech from a lady who lived life well
She's 60 here - radiant
She's 61 here
It's said that the eyes are the windows to one's soul; Elizabeth had the most beautiful eyes.
There’s Michael in the audience! My two favourite celebrities ever. May they Rest In Peace
Humble and sincere, as only the great stars can afford to be.
Great Elisabeth speak full of heart.Elisabeth was a great great Lady.Thank yuo Elisabeth for all yuo do.R.I.P WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
I get shivers down my spine when I remember her parts in Virginia Woolf and Cat On a Hot Tin Roof... the true legends of Hollywood are sadly almost all gone now...
Truly beautiful & talented woman (and those eyes...)
Rest In Peace, Dame Elizabeth
Elizabeth Taylor is American
Nobody in the universe loves Dame Elizabeth Taylor as much as I do... RIP darling & thank you for everything 💘 xx
It's great that Taylor received the AFI Life Achievement Award when she looked great and was healthy enough and ambulatory to receive it. She is overly modest- Taylor did outstanding work in A Place In The Sun, Suddenly Last Summer, Raintree County, and Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf.
Don't forget, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
Jane Eyre. A movie she got no credit for when it was made. She was terrific in her few scenes.
Happy 86th birthday Liz!! I know you're celebrating with your family and colleagues in heaven!! 🌥
Adore her! Not just her great talent and exquisite beauty, but her huge heart! Her enormous compassion. Her speaking up for Aids was trail blazing and one of her greatest accomplishments. On her watch, a lot of research money was raised.
Bless her memory! She lives forever on screen.🌹
A True Hollywood Legend. God Bless her for all she has given us. 💙 Dame Elizabeth Taylor
Surely the most gorgeous woman ever to have been captured on camera and possibly the most gorgeous woman EVER!
Really over Marilyn Monroe
Yes she is
Marilyn was beautiful but had work to get there. She had her chin done, breasts etc whereas Elizabeth Taylor was a staggeringly natural beauty
This is not my having a dig at Marilyn tho. Both women's beauty will be forever more
@@jaimonjohn2516 yes

Very deserving.
I hope the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science give Elizabeth a postumous body of work Oscar.
I stopped watching the Oscars after she was given a paltry 5 seconds during the In Memoriam segment. For the previous forty years, Elizabeth Taylor WAS the Academy Awards.
My dear God,i miss her alot...
Goddess...more human than human 💖❤️💖
elizabeth taylor - God's best work

Beautiful
That diamond ring is dazzling!❤
She will be so very missed
💥ELIZABETH TAYLOR~SUPERNOVA💥

What a personality! What a star! Her activism against AIDS and for the LGBT community as well as her cinematographic career, crowned in particular by 2 Oscars, make her a true legend. Well done !
Quelle personnalité ! Quelle star ! Son activisme contre le sida et pour la communautée LGBT ainsi que sa carrière cinématographique, courronée notamment par 2 oscars, font d'elle une véritable Légende. Bravo !
Aw I miss her she was extremely brilliant and beautiful I love all her movies........Vivian Leigh could go been her older sister

Happy birthday to your son Mitcheal Jr.
You're right, only she didn't revive his career cause he died before it went into production. Because Brando was a big admirer of Montgomery Clift, he agreed to be in it at short notice for a reduced salary.
I love Elizabeth Taylor and am a bit taken aback by this very "acted" speech.
But still, thank you Elizabeth for your acting career and what you contributed to aid for Aids victims.
@willminkorea, James Dean
@mikemc41
Rock on.
We’re all immune now ~ xxx…
Don't know about Rock Hudson but the other three would certainly have been given this award had they lived longer
Why not Rock? Just wondering.
I thought it was kinda rude and in appropriate to pan to George Michael when she starts talking about Aids.
James dean
Am I the only one that realised that girl in the red dress giving some evil disappointed look at 3:18
Did her right cheek look bruised to anyone else?
you are right vivien was a better actress
Monty= Montgomery Clift, Rock = Rock Hudson, Richard = Richard Burton, so who is Jimmy?
James Dean is Jimmy
George Michael was there too
May ur soul rest in peace my love, u r in a beta place
🙏🏿🌈
As handsome as Jimmy dean was, he couldnt hold a candle to Montgomery clift
Especially in the world of AIDS... *cut to shot of George Michael*
James Dean wasn't gay.
Yes he was.
Actually, Dean's gay relationships are extensively documented and not something he was ashamed of. The most recent chronicling is in a new book about the making of Giant which has names, places, facts etc.
Why do people like Lynn make such factually incorrect statements with obviously zero knowledge of the truth. It wasn't even much of a secret back then!
