Tears are rolling down my cheeks just watching this. I miss her already as well. The world has lost a great lady. We are all better off for having her in this world. RIP Elizabeth.
The way her kids turned out is how I knew she was not like the stuff tabloids said about her. Nothing at all. They are all pretty normal people. The oldest, Michael Wilding Jr, is 71. Next his brother, Christopher, 69. Liza, 66 and Maria who is 61 or 62.
Elizabeth Taylor deserves great credit for her work in assisting those members of the film community suffering with AIDS, as well as others afflicted. She was solely responsible for reviving the career of Montgomery Clift by insisting that Warner Bros. cast him opposite her in Reflections In A Golden Eye, after he had completed The Defector. She was supportive of Hudson and Dean as well.
Adore her! Not just her great talent and exquisite beauty, but her huge heart! Her enormous compassion. Her speaking up for Aids was trail blazing and one of her greatest accomplishments. On her watch, a lot of research money was raised. Bless her memory! She lives forever on screen.🌹
It's great that Taylor received the AFI Life Achievement Award when she looked great and was healthy enough and ambulatory to receive it. She is overly modest- Taylor did outstanding work in A Place In The Sun, Suddenly Last Summer, Raintree County, and Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf.
I get shivers down my spine when I remember her parts in Virginia Woolf and Cat On a Hot Tin Roof... the true legends of Hollywood are sadly almost all gone now...
Yes she is Marilyn was beautiful but had work to get there. She had her chin done, breasts etc whereas Elizabeth Taylor was a staggeringly natural beauty This is not my having a dig at Marilyn tho. Both women's beauty will be forever more
Those Eyes & that beautiful Heart, Thanks Lizz for all the amazing movies you gave us but specially THANK YOU for the amazing work you did for Aids etc. We all miss you xoxo
BEAUTY, Class, passion and that is what made Elizabeth so special. If you had the honor of seeing her in person you know she was the most beautiful woman God ever created. Grace under pressure. REST in the arms f the angels D'Angelo Occhi. She spoke at this AFI awards with such grace, beauty & yes PASSION. A great unforgettable memory Luv.
Beautiful words, demonstrating once again that Elizabeth besides being a great actress was also a great woman. RIP dear Dame Elizabeth next to your friends and your love Richard.
What an absolutely wonderful lady. And she's so lovely for thanking those 4 outstanding gentlemen, who I agree with her, deserved this award too. She will be missed forever, but also forever in our hearts. RIP :[
I just re-watched Virginia Woolf; I hadn’t seen it in years. By God, she was brilliant. Truly one of the great legendary screen performances. And she’d already done many other great roles before that. If you forget about the marriages, the jet-set lifestyle, the craziness of her life, she was at heart just a damn good actress.
Her performance in 'Giant" (1956) directed by George Stevens, was her greatest performance. In three hours, through many generations, her character embodied a strong willed, loving woman who as a loyal wife, devoted mother, loving ranch owner, embodied feminist & independent woman still captivates me to this day. It's a must see in all U.S., especially in schools & film festivals in the Southwest where anti-Mexican sentiment (a topic rarely discussed in films) is at an all-time high.
I stopped watching the Oscars after she was given a paltry 5 seconds during the In Memoriam segment. For the previous forty years, Elizabeth Taylor WAS the Academy Awards.
You're right, only she didn't revive his career cause he died before it went into production. Because Brando was a big admirer of Montgomery Clift, he agreed to be in it at short notice for a reduced salary.
When she was married to Senator John Warner of Virginia, She was often in the state capitol of Richmond. I worked at the Medical College of Virginia as a young medical photographer, and one day I was coming back from the downtown area, late as usual getting back from lunch. I cut across the capitol grounds, head down and speed walking, almost running. As I cut across the sidewalk from the Capitol building I felt a presence and stopped just short of literally walking into those amazing violet eyes and their beautiful owner. I apologized, but in true English fashion Miss Taylor apologized to me for my almost running her over! I will regret all my life that I didn't have the wit to say I'm so sorry I almost killed you. Could I have your autograph? What a beautiful and gracious lady.
I love Elizabeth Taylor and am a bit taken aback by this very "acted" speech. But still, thank you Elizabeth for your acting career and what you contributed to aid for Aids victims.
Actually, Dean's gay relationships are extensively documented and not something he was ashamed of. The most recent chronicling is in a new book about the making of Giant which has names, places, facts etc.
Why do people like Lynn make such factually incorrect statements with obviously zero knowledge of the truth. It wasn't even much of a secret back then!
What a personality! What a star! Her activism against AIDS and for the LGBT community as well as her cinematographic career, crowned in particular by 2 Oscars, make her a true legend. Well done ! Quelle personnalité ! Quelle star ! Son activisme contre le sida et pour la communautée LGBT ainsi que sa carrière cinématographique, courronée notamment par 2 oscars, font d'elle une véritable Légende. Bravo !
There will never be another Elizabeth Taylor. What a dame.
An incredible woman as an actress and as a compassionate lady who cared about all people around her on this planet. RIP Dame Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor is American
A tribute that Elizabeth Taylor fully deserved. And a truly beautiful acceptance speech, straightforward, honest, deeply humble and supremely elegant.
Tears are rolling down my cheeks just watching this. I miss her already as well. The world has lost a great lady. We are all better off for having her in this world. RIP Elizabeth.
So nice her children were there to honor her. One could tell she raised them well.
The way her kids turned out is how I knew she was not like the stuff tabloids said about her. Nothing at all.
They are all pretty normal people.
The oldest, Michael Wilding Jr, is 71.
Next his brother, Christopher, 69. Liza, 66 and Maria who is 61 or 62.

Great Elisabeth speak full of heart.Elisabeth was a great great Lady.Thank yuo Elisabeth for all yuo do.R.I.P WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
A truly beautiful speech from a lady who lived life well
Adore her! Not just her great talent and exquisite beauty, but her huge heart! Her enormous compassion. Her speaking up for Aids was trail blazing and one of her greatest accomplishments. On her watch, a lot of research money was raised.
Bless her memory! She lives forever on screen.🌹
Humble and sincere, as only the great stars can afford to be.
It's great that Taylor received the AFI Life Achievement Award when she looked great and was healthy enough and ambulatory to receive it. She is overly modest- Taylor did outstanding work in A Place In The Sun, Suddenly Last Summer, Raintree County, and Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf.
Don't forget, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.
Jane Eyre. A movie she got no credit for when it was made. She was terrific in her few scenes.
ROCK HUDSON, Monty Clift and Jimmy Dean all were loved by Elizabeth. Sleep warm with your loves & dear friend's LUV.
She's 60 here - radiant
She's 61 here
Truly beautiful & talented woman (and those eyes...)
Rest In Peace, Dame Elizabeth
Elizabeth Taylor is American
It's said that the eyes are the windows to one's soul; Elizabeth had the most beautiful eyes.
I get shivers down my spine when I remember her parts in Virginia Woolf and Cat On a Hot Tin Roof... the true legends of Hollywood are sadly almost all gone now...
Surely the most gorgeous woman ever to have been captured on camera and possibly the most gorgeous woman EVER!
Really over Marilyn Monroe
Yes she is
Marilyn was beautiful but had work to get there. She had her chin done, breasts etc whereas Elizabeth Taylor was a staggeringly natural beauty
This is not my having a dig at Marilyn tho. Both women's beauty will be forever more
@@jaimonjohn2516 yes
There’s Michael in the audience! My two favourite celebrities ever. May they Rest In Peace
Those Eyes & that beautiful Heart, Thanks Lizz for all the amazing movies you gave us but specially THANK YOU for the amazing work you did for Aids etc. We all miss you xoxo
Happy 86th birthday Liz!! I know you're celebrating with your family and colleagues in heaven!! 🌥
A True Hollywood Legend. God Bless her for all she has given us. 💙 Dame Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth is passionate and compassionate. What a wonderful combination!
Nobody in the universe loves Dame Elizabeth Taylor as much as I do... RIP darling & thank you for everything 💘 xx

I just re-watched Virginia Woolf; I hadn’t seen it in years. By God, she was brilliant. Truly one of the great legendary screen performances. And she’d already done many other great roles before that. If you forget about the marriages, the jet-set lifestyle, the craziness of her life, she was at heart just a damn good actress.

Very deserving.
I hope the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Science give Elizabeth a postumous body of work Oscar.
I stopped watching the Oscars after she was given a paltry 5 seconds during the In Memoriam segment. For the previous forty years, Elizabeth Taylor WAS the Academy Awards.
Thank you AFI for the video!
My dear God,i miss her alot...
I love her.
elizabeth taylor - God's best work

Pure class!
Goddess...more human than human 💖❤️💖

Beautiful
and>>>>>ELIZABETH TAYLOR WAS "THE MOST GLAMOROUS MOVIE STAR IN THE WHOLE HISTORY OF HOLLYWOOD MOVIES"!
Aw I miss her she was extremely brilliant and beautiful I love all her movies........Vivian Leigh could go been her older sister
You're right, only she didn't revive his career cause he died before it went into production. Because Brando was a big admirer of Montgomery Clift, he agreed to be in it at short notice for a reduced salary.
💥ELIZABETH TAYLOR~SUPERNOVA💥
How Stunning is that,
When she was married to Senator John Warner of Virginia, She was often in the state capitol of Richmond. I worked at the Medical College of Virginia as a young medical photographer, and one day I was coming back from the downtown area, late as usual getting back from lunch. I cut across the capitol grounds, head down and speed walking, almost running. As I cut across the sidewalk from the Capitol building I felt a presence and stopped just short of literally walking into those amazing violet eyes and their beautiful owner.

Could I have your autograph? What a beautiful and gracious lady.
She will be so very missed
I love Elizabeth Taylor and am a bit taken aback by this very "acted" speech.
But still, thank you Elizabeth for your acting career and what you contributed to aid for Aids victims.
OMG i see MJ !
What a GREAT lady RIP
Legendary
i cry
RIP, liz goddess taylor
you will be missed!
Happy birthday to your son Mitcheal Jr.
Don't know about Rock Hudson but the other three would certainly have been given this award had they lived longer
Why not Rock? Just wondering.
Toda una persona
RIP
RIP Liz Taylor
Monty= Montgomery Clift, Rock = Rock Hudson, Richard = Richard Burton, so who is Jimmy?
James Dean is Jimmy
GREAt star
I thought it was kinda rude and in appropriate to pan to George Michael when she starts talking about Aids.
As handsome as Jimmy dean was, he couldnt hold a candle to Montgomery clift
@willminkorea, James Dean
James dean
George Michael was there too
We’re all immune now ~ xxx…
@mikemc41
Rock on.
Am I the only one that realised that girl in the red dress giving some evil disappointed look at 3:18
you are right vivien was a better actress
Did her right cheek look bruised to anyone else?
James Dean wasn't gay.
Yes he was.
Actually, Dean's gay relationships are extensively documented and not something he was ashamed of. The most recent chronicling is in a new book about the making of Giant which has names, places, facts etc.
Why do people like Lynn make such factually incorrect statements with obviously zero knowledge of the truth. It wasn't even much of a secret back then!
May ur soul rest in peace my love, u r in a beta place
Especially in the world of AIDS... *cut to shot of George Michael*
🙏🏿🌈
What a personality! What a star! Her activism against AIDS and for the LGBT community as well as her cinematographic career, crowned in particular by 2 Oscars, make her a true legend. Well done !
