Elizabeth Taylor Dead at 79

At around 1:30 a.m. this morning, Elizabeth Taylor died of symptoms caused by congestive heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. According to her publicist, her death was peaceful yet surprising as her condition had stabilized and she was thought to have been able to return home.

“She was surrounded by her children – Michael Wilding, Christopher Wilding, Liza Todd and Maria Burton,” Taylor’s publicist, Sally Morrison, said in a statement. In addition to her children, Taylor is survived by 10 grandchildren and four great grandchildren.

Elizabeth Taylor, of course, starred in Cleopatra which made her the first Hollywood star to earn a $1 million salary. It is also getting a remake. Possibly in 3D. The only thing that will keep her from rolling in her grave is the fact that Angelina Jolie is attached to star, David Fincher may direct and it won’t be in 3D.
