Elizabeth Taylor: Birthday Picspam  

In honor of today being the 77th birthday of one of my biggest inspirations, Elizabeth Taylor, I put together a picspam of sorts to celebrate. I didn't have time for anything fancy, no quotes or much of a significant look at her life/accomplishments, just some pretty pictures. :3



Caution: Image-heavy!

Oh, my pleasure! Thank you for commenting ♥
i like a gershwin tune, how about you?: sharon tate[info]x_vintagekitten on February 28th, 2009 02:56 pm (UTC)
Absolutely stunning.
Nel: Gene Tierney[info]peppermintxrose on March 7th, 2009 07:06 am (UTC)
♥ Her beauty was almost blinding... and yay Sharon Tate, another one of my favorite beauties :3

she's always been my favourite Martha (Who's afraid...), no matter how many different & fantastic plays i've seen.

and we almost share birthdates ;)
Nel: Winter Nouveau[info]peppermintxrose on March 8th, 2009 08:28 am (UTC)
That's fantastic you've seen so many variations of it. I still need to strap myself down to watch the whole film, it just seems so intimidating in its intensity - but in the most amazing way, I'm sure. :)

Thanks for commenting dear ♥ :D
Amanda[info]sereneignorance on February 28th, 2009 05:23 pm (UTC)
Freaking stunning. Thanks!
Nel: Gene Tierney[info]peppermintxrose on March 7th, 2009 06:28 am (UTC)
Haha! You're very welcome my dear :3

That was so lovely!

I love this photo the most: http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk185/delphinegarnier/Liz/17.jpg

She has beautiful eyes.
Nel: Al & Jas Kiss[info]peppermintxrose on March 8th, 2009 09:59 am (UTC)
Thank you dear, I'm so happy you enjoyed this and really appreciate your comments, I loved hearing them! ♥

Oh, that's such a cute photo - I love her slightly surprised expression, and the little yarn ball at her feet. :D

Her violet-blue eyes were incredible!
desdemona: vivling[info]lafilleduvent on February 28th, 2009 06:20 pm (UTC)
fantastic and extremely beautiful pics of her :)!! simply amazing, and she has always been one of my very faves :).
Nel: Jeremy[info]peppermintxrose on March 8th, 2009 08:38 am (UTC)
Thanks so much for commenting dear, I really appreciate it! ♥ Elizabeth is such a fascinating woman, I wanted to do her justice with this, at least visually. :)

I looooove the one of her putting on lipstick, I don't think I've seen that photo before. And the white bathing suit picture is such a classic -- LOVE that one.
Nel: My Little Pony[info]peppermintxrose on March 8th, 2009 09:32 am (UTC)
Isn't it fantastic? :D I've only run into it once even though it's kind of disgusting how hard and often I search for new photos.

I love color pics from Suddenly, Last Summer since the movie's B&W - the beach photos in particular, for obvious reasons. That insanely small waist! o.O

beautiful pictures, thankyou for sharing :)
Nel: Leave Her to Heaven[info]peppermintxrose on March 7th, 2009 06:56 am (UTC)
Oh, you're welcome! I'm happy to spread a little Liz magic across the internet :)

Thanks for commenting - cute icon! ^_^

I love her <3 so breathtakingly gorgeous!!!!
Nel: Winter Nouveau[info]peppermintxrose on March 7th, 2009 07:26 am (UTC)
Oh yes, Elizabeth is one of a kind and just out-of-this-world beautiful. Your icon = perfect <3
joltenjoeswife: lupevelez[info]joltenjoeswife on February 28th, 2009 11:06 pm (UTC)
She is amazingly beautiful. Thanks for the pic spam.
Nel: Winter Nouveau[info]peppermintxrose on March 7th, 2009 06:58 am (UTC)
Agreed. There were so many beauties back in the day, but she is one of a few that really stand out to me.

You're welcome, thanks for looking! ♥ Usually it's you with the amazing picspams :)
Nicole: atonement // dreamy[info]beyondrecovery on March 1st, 2009 01:38 am (UTC)
she is so gorgeous! what a lovely picspam :D
Nel: Pooh[info]peppermintxrose on March 8th, 2009 08:49 am (UTC)
Thanks honey! ♥ And seriously - you know it wasn't just good lighting and/or makeup because she had that distinct look pretty much from the start, when she was just a little girl. :)

Oh, and the font in my header is called "Preciosa" :D
Nicole: mona // giggling[info]beyondrecovery on March 1st, 2009 01:39 am (UTC)
p.s. what font did you use for the text in your header? (the font used for your username I mean)
Used to go by Jackie.: Big Smile[info]thedarkmartini on March 1st, 2009 01:47 am (UTC)
Good heavens, what a beautiful woman. Wonderful picspam! :D
Nel: Peter <3[info]peppermintxrose on March 7th, 2009 07:31 am (UTC)
Seriously, I never tire of looking at her. Thank you very much, so glad you liked it! ♥
Elizabeth: Elizabeth Taylor[info]vintagevixen on March 1st, 2009 01:50 am (UTC)
So elegant. <3
Nel: Al & Jas Kiss[info]peppermintxrose on March 7th, 2009 07:08 am (UTC)
She did have an incredibly regal way of holding herself, it's probably one of the reasons they chose her for roles like Cleopatra.

♥ :D

A gorgeous post, hail Queen Liz ♥ ♥ ♥

I want to watch Cleopatra SO bad now =(
Nel: Jeremy[info]peppermintxrose on March 7th, 2009 07:46 am (UTC)
Thanks honey! Hehe yes, there's never been anyone like this woman.

Aww yeah I need to see it too, I've never made it through the whole thing thanks to impatient friends who'd rather watch something else haha :P
rowan belle: [babs] big hair[info]rowan_belle on March 1st, 2009 05:27 am (UTC)
Way too much gorgeous in one post. &hearts:'s it.
Nel: Leave Her to Heaven[info]peppermintxrose on March 8th, 2009 08:57 am (UTC)
Haha, I'm so glad you think so, thanks for commenting (love the Barbra icon) ♥

I tried to pick some of the best photos - narrowing it down to this many was very difficult 'cause the lady took a good picture :)
Ruby[info]rubyrl on March 1st, 2009 12:24 pm (UTC)

These are truly lovely.
Nel: Deneuve[info]peppermintxrose on March 7th, 2009 07:50 am (UTC)
Well, she just lights up a picture. So glad you liked the post, thanks for commenting! :3
Rina: Jimmy Dean[info]lila87 on March 1st, 2009 02:07 pm (UTC)
Happy belated Birthday, Elizabeth Taylor!

Thanks for this beautiful picspam, dear! ♥ So many lovely photos.
I adore the very first one, the one of her in the bridal dress, the one with her knitting, the one with the mirror, the one with the bird and especially the one with her and Jimmy eating. :)

She was such a pretty lady!
Susan: jessica rabbit[info]dearpapillon on March 1st, 2009 03:43 pm (UTC)
gosh what lovely pics! I simply adore looking at pics like these - certainly gives a blast to the past feeling!! I love how different beauty standards were back in the 50s. Strong defined lips, big hair, high waisted skirts etcetc. Waay better than the whole "anorexic" look now.
Nel: Al & Jas Kiss[info]peppermintxrose on March 8th, 2009 10:05 am (UTC)
Aww Susan I'm so glad you liked this post, I sometimes worry my Disney friends are going to be annoyed at my Old Hollywood posts, heh. :) ♥

Yes I'm just fascinated by the old-school styles - they were often so much prettier, classier and more flattering. And yeah, the body types were much more pleasing to the eye as well. The bony look is so ugly and sad in my opinion.
Screen Siren: ink and paint club[info]misskelleen on March 1st, 2009 04:54 pm (UTC)
My gosh she was terribly stunning ♥
Nel: Aishwarya Rai[info]peppermintxrose on March 8th, 2009 09:53 am (UTC)
Ooh yes, and it wasn't just good bone structure but an inner warmth and luminosity she seemed to have, sort of like Marilyn... I can only imagine what it must've been like to encounter either of them in real life.

Anyway, thanks for commenting (I adore that Jessica Rabbit icon) ^^
Maggie The Cat[info]starsofscreen on March 2nd, 2009 01:15 am (UTC)
Gorgeous!

Nel: Aishwarya Rai[info]peppermintxrose on March 8th, 2009 09:22 am (UTC)
Indeed! Thanks for commenting dear! :)
Brit[info]4theloveofindy on March 2nd, 2009 03:19 am (UTC)
um, yeah you just made my day :)
Nel: Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor[info]peppermintxrose on March 7th, 2009 07:14 am (UTC)
Aww, thank you so much! Seeing your comment made my day ♥

She is soo stunning! Beautiful selection of pictures. ♥
Thanks for posting this.
Nel: Al & Jas Kiss[info]peppermintxrose on March 8th, 2009 10:11 am (UTC)
Agreed! And thank you, I spent entirely too long trying to narrow it down to just these few. >.> :D

Oh, you're very welcome ♥
ChanelAmore: Betty Boop[info]chanelamore on March 2nd, 2009 03:48 pm (UTC)
Gorgeous picspam, dearest! Elizabeth Taylor is unbelievably stunning and I adore the pictures you selected in honor of her birthday ♥
Nel: Winter Nouveau[info]peppermintxrose on March 8th, 2009 10:14 am (UTC)
Thanks honey, so happy you enjoyed it! <3 She is such an amazing woman, I wanted to do something a little special for her birthday. :)
