Hmmmm. Frank Capra & Stanwyck...can't say I remember anything like that, I'll have to do some researching...maybe IMDB.com?
In any case, I've got to agree on Stanwyck (aka Ruby Stevens from Brooklyn) - she certainly was a pip! I loved just about anything she did. You do know about her 'lavendar marriage' to Robert Taylor? Yes, of course you do. She has been accused of being gay, but nothing nor no one (that I know of) had come forth to attest to that, though there were many suspicions, but nothing concrete ever came forward. I think it was something - that if true - she took to her grave. Tho, remember her role as a lesbian in 'Walk On The Wild Side'. I was really surprised she consented to doing that, being as concervative as she was about her personal life.

yes, i've heard that...but almost everyone was accused at one time or another it seems

There is nothing I can offer a comment on that has not already been said about Elizabeth Taylor.

So I'll just say I love Elizabeth Taylor. Diverse, legendary and from there the adjectives roll on. For me it is her presence and the fact that she is a station from my generation.

Beautiful? It hardly deserves a comment. I know I will miss her when it's time.
But the good part is that films like Giant, Butterfield 8, A Place in the Sun, Suddenly Last Summer
and many more will continually give us...Elizabeth Taylor. And as a fan and an American who grew up
with Hollywood's golden age and classic performers, I'm honored.
