Elizabeth Taylor

I don't think I've ever seen a movie Elizabeth Taylor was in.  Someone my age wouldn't even think of her as an actress, but I can remember no point in time where I didn't know the name Elizabeth Taylor as a famous person.  My mother met her once, at some event for John Warner (I think.)  Seemingly like Michael Jackson, her name rings bigger than her actual life. I'm surprised she died, since I'm vaguely surprised she really existed in the first place.
