Elizabeth Taylor, the legendary actress famed for her beauty, her jet-set lifestyle, her charitable endeavors and her many marriages, has died this morning. 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 a two-time Oscar winner - for Butterfield 8 (1960) and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf (1966) - Taylor was more celebrated for simply being Elizabeth Taylor: sexy, glamorous, tempestuous, fragile, always trailing courtiers, media and fans.
