g career, from her memorable rolls in “National Velvet” and “Little Women”, to the unforgettable “Cleopatra”, “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Wolfe?”, “Suddenly Last Summer”, and “Giant”, she dazzled audiences with her talent and natural skill for the medium. A true industry legend, she worked with and was directed by cinematic titans from the golden age to the present. Beautiful and inspirational in both her performances and tireless efforts in raising awareness and funds for AIDS research, she was one of the last of the great champions of film and activism.
Even though for the majority of her life she was a hot topic for tabloid gossips, from her many high-profile marriages, to her friendships with fellow stars like Liza Minnelli and Michael Jackson, she always maintained an aura of dignity, and the ability to look beyond negative press with her head held high. She is survived by her four children, legions of fans, and yet-to-be fans as she now takes her rightful place in Hollywood history. In a world where talent and ability are no longer valued, she will live on in the rolls she made famous, and as a queen of modern cinema.
