Elizabeth Taylor Dies

(CNN) -- Elizabeth Taylor, the legendary actress famed for her beauty, her jet-set lifestyle, her charitable endeavors and her many marriages, has died, her publicist told CNN Wednesday. She was 79.

Taylor died "peacefully today in Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles," said a statement from her publicist. She was hospitalized six weeks ago with congestive heart failure, "a condition with which she had struggled for many years. Though she had recently suffered a number of complications, her condition had stabilized and it was hoped that she would be able to return home. Sadly, this was not to be."

I just saw that she had passed away. May she rest in peace.

R.I.P

Oh my goodness. I'm not surprised, considering her condition, but what a great loss.

I was shocked to hear the news!

I have seen almost all of her movies and read a biography book about her. She was one I really was a fan of. She's struggled with her health for very long. She's made some memorable screen moments. May she rest in peace.

I hadn't heard that.

She was a great actress....and she will be missed by many.....

I loved her and Montgomery in 'A Place in the Sun'

This is very said however, she is at peace and not suffering any more. Poor thing had so many health issues. What a great lady.

Did one of the mods change the header from "Liz" to "Elizabeth"? Just curious. I know she didn't like to be called Liz; I just used that because it made the whole header visible from the main board.

Yes it was I lol
When I saw your post, I remembered she didn't like being called that but I left it. Then, while I was watching the news, they had a segment on it and a clip where she mentions she didn't like being called that... so I just came and changed it.
I know you didn't mean anything by it. I just thought if I didn't like being called a name and then someone calling that name when talking about my death... I don't know. Just out of respect...

I can understand that..I did't like being called a certin name too.

What a legend indeed....she will always be "National Velvet" to me.

I am wondering why, a couple of months ago, her spokespeople all insisted that she was 'fine', when asked about her health. She was so obviously going downhill. It seemed that she didn't want anyone to know that she was this ill. She definitely was suffering....may she rest in peace now.

She WAS a great lady. I read that during the last 25 years she raised over 100 million dollars in support of finding a cure for AIDS. That's a lot of money.
