33I agree with you Gretchen ...Parallel? Seriously?
Angelina is so beautiful in heart and is blessed with a beautiful family. Elizabeth Taylor was blessed to, and did so much for people. I like both Angelina Jolie and Elizabet Taylor. They are historical women with great talent and love for others.
I had the priviledge of meeting Ms. Taylor in Houston, Tx when she was promoting her prefume "White Diamonds"...I was the last to shake hands with her and recieve an autographed photo of her....her body guards were trying to rush her along and she invited me to walk with her as she left the store. Yes she was thought of as one of the most beautiful women in the world, but she didn't flaunt it. She didn't come accross as snobby or aloof in any manner....she gave me a hug at the back of the store and told me it was lovely meeting me.....at that point she seemed very much like a real person, a star non the less but a person who had touched briefly my path in life....btw...I still have the photo and the perfume she tucked in my hand with the photo....
Angelina is one of the most beautiful women in the film industry to date Elizabeth
The point is to pull out the role that history played upon her! She is not copycatting! I can assure you that the role she is playing is so that Angelina can define what had happened on the set during that time frame before she retired from being a star! She isn`t trying to steal anyone`s credentials, she is just trying to find out where her next role is to be played as far as current status in politics is concerned! Since she will be taking over from where her grandmother left off! It is not meant as an insult to Elizabeth, it is meant as a discovery so that I can find my way back into the spotlight and so that she can start publicizing me once my time comes to be placed in my position within the roles of politics! You people have no idea how important the both of us are according to history`s sake and I am not going to explain it in detail to you so you can destroy our family name! My sister takes pride in who she is and she has a beautiful heart! She rescued me and gave me a home and a leg to stand on and a way to care for myself! What have you ever done for our family!?@@@@!!!!!Love you sis!LOL!Some of these people really need a good tongue lashing!!Nasty buggers!!!LOL!!!xoxoxo:)
If you only knew the whole story you would know that I am embracing her and not judging her! But that is not politics, that is love of family!So, I think when it comes to judging people you should just keep out of the way! Investigation is over with for you! My sister is a sane person!!!!
Yes!It is true,grandma was a politician`s friend who couldn`t get enough of the movie scene and cleo had her chance at the big time while got put up for adoption! Things never change do they? Oh well, at least I`ll be getting my degee! How many behaviorals can you cover up!? I love you too sis! I would like to discover your world some day but not yet, I still have a bachelors, masters, and a doctorates to work on! Six says I should graduate in a short while within the year and I will have my Associates degree! I am so glad to see your face! That twin of yours has some explaining to do! Dirty is as Dirty does! What`s up with that Harry Pot of Gold and his family lately! I guess I wouldn`t mind caring for a Cat that just can`t get enough of my love for humanity! Tell mom I said Hi! Miss you both! See you at Christmas Hopefully! Your boat is still docked and waiting for you to arrive on a Discovery! CB me sometime O.K.! P.S. I like the castle! I am enjoying my independence but don`t necessarily need a rock to hold me down!LOL You are so beautiful! You two! Oh, the kids say hi and miss you!
They are both beautiful their was no action in Elizabeth Taylor movies but I like her movies Angelina Jolie as lots of action I like All of her movies,even I don't know her in person her movies I like what kind of movies she make strong movies,No ones take anyone from anyone just because you marry some one that may not be the one if it was he will still be with her.so don't blame Angelina Jolie or call her a man stiller you don't now what happen I love to see her and Brad togeather.Hope one day they will get married.Stop judgeing and go head on.
F---ing HOT-SHE WAS JUST SOOO SEXY AND INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL
would this be something... both women had their own specific specialties in their own ways..Jolie is living in her time right now with modern hooplas and achievements.. LTaylor had the same in her time.. Both are extremely beautiful people...Jolie is compassionate about loving children..DOWN TO EARTH person.. Liz is classy kind of girl...both had fallen in love to men that worshiped them...both are great actress int their own ways and like time...so no comparison between the two.. and if there are.. both women are BLESSED to be compared to one another...
Liz Taylor is incomparable to any actor. She was a child actor & grew up in the theatre. She was more comfortable on stage than anywhere else. A natural born movie legend. No one is comparable to her and no one ever will be. Someone of her caliber comes along once perhaps every century.
Angelina is one of the most beautiful women in the film industry to date Elizabeth is one of our most beautiful stars that has passed on what is y'all's problem they are both great actress's and both beautiful if you don't like either of them don't look!
I shouldn't buy into this because it is all about publicity. I have heard that Brad Pittâ??s production company is wanting to do a re-make of "Cleopatra" (maybe it is a definite at this point...not sure) and that Angelina (of course) is to play Cleopatra which sickens me. Angelina has played some very versatile roles and done an excellent job, but playing Cleopatra would be a stretch even for her. I think that if they are planning on doing a re-make of Cleopatra they should choose a fresh, new and fairly unknown actress that would be able to hold her own playing such a strong, dynamic and dramatic character like Cleopatra. As far as comparing Angelina to Elizabeth Taylor...you can't. They are two completely different people. You can find similarities between just about any two people, but first and foremost Elizabeth Taylor was very much a LADY. I never knew her and I do not know Angelina, but when I think of, or see Angelina Jolie the word "Lady" is not a word that would ever pop into my head. Elizabeth Taylor ~ The Legend, The Lady ~ RIP.

Although I'm a fan of Angelina's, she will never be in the ranks of an Elizabeth Taylor. The only thing they have in common is the oscar, stealing a husband, and multiple trips to the altar. Oh yeah...and they are brunettes. That's it.
Regarding Angelina Jolie.... I believe in "if u can't say something nice, don't say anything". You don't have enough room for me to talk nicely about Elizabeth!
I can't believe that you would compare the beautiful, talented, actress Elizabeth Taylor with the likes of Angelina Jolie.
Point is at one time both Taylor and Jolie couldn't seem to wait until their men were actually unattached before trying to get involved with them. That is all they have in common. Taylor was more beautiful and talented, and has more class than Jolie any day of the week and twice on Sunday !
Elisabeth Taylor was an ACTRESS, super ACTRESS... nothing in compares..
Rest in peace Elizabeth.you will always be remembered as the best and the first one.
