This 5 mins and some second of a video is more legendary than few of the current generation's whole life career ❤❤❤ what an icon Dame Elizabeth Taylor 👏 🙏
Well the true nature of her stature is instantly revealed by the standing spontaneous ovation she received from a typically jaded sort of crowd who are not easily impressed or particularly star struck. But she was something else all together and they all knew it. Elizabeth is the last of a breed of genuine immortal movie stars.
I've Always admired/adored Elizabeth Taylor and I actually spent some time with her many years ago and I'll never forget her love and respect and admiration and support and friendship and kindness ♡♡♡
Elizabeth was absolutely beautiful and so sweet and I wished I could have met her because I love her so much. She worked with one of my favorite ladies Miss Carol Burnett when they did a movie in the '80s called Between Friends. I miss Elizabeth and if she were alive today and I were to see her face-to-face I would tell her how much I love her and she's so beautiful and talented
@@kevinmacdonald6546 You're words are so beautiful !! You will see her face to face in The Heavens ! Remember she continues to live here and she continues as when she was on earth to help people ! She left tons of her money to continue her work on earth with her fragrances, and several other precious items that were hers ! She's rare and very special and will always continue to help people even tho she's gone now just a month over 10 years ! Be encouraged as you continue to venture your life Blessings upon you today and tomorrow and Forever ! R.
@@luisrosales3239 Any woman who could save the lives of AIDS patients as she did by raising millions of dollars, start a great perfume business, amass a fortune, win 2 Oscars, and hold the public's attention for five decades --------- must have had SOMETHING on the ball!
This is the equivalent of when people say about so-called great actors that they could listen to them recite the phone book - and Dame Liz knocks it out of the park! :)
She will always be my idea of an enormously talented beauty, an enormously beautiful talent. It's great to see how well loved she is by the people of the theater. She had a tremendous spirit and sense of humor, PLUS a naturalness that demonstrated her genuineness. A fabulously famous movie star who was real.
wel, trough all the things she went through in her life - the marriages, the heath problems, the addictions - I do think she was a realist who did whatever the hell she wanted too and had fun. You can't ask for anything more then that.
I met her at about this time. When you talked to her, she'd lock you in with those gorgeous eyes and focus on what you were saying, as though there were no one else in the room. She had a charming way of warmly engaging you with her undivided attention in a noisy crowd of people.
Award shows aren't stupid. Awards aren't stupid. And she wasnt laughing at them. Hard work and intelligence isn't stupid unless shallowness flippancy and jealousy make them so. She was laughing out of happiness and joy of the experience, and her camaraderie with the audience and their love for her.
@@lightshift3431 Sure sweetie; tell that to the record low ratings of last night's (completely stupid and pointless) Oscar telecast. Again, the worst in the show's history. Grammys, Emmys and all the others are a dying breed as well.
"Elizabeth Taylor" Miss Charm!.. She is, the same one, shining, hypnotically beckoning and inaccessible, from us inexorably retreating Universe "Elizabeth - Woman of Women". I can’t help but admire you. I look at the screen - and tears drip. The thunder of enthusiastic applause has subsided - You appeared in the world, being great prose!.. Blue eyes, their bottomless depths, Conquered the souls of giants. Internally - gullible and modest. Externally - the noise of the palace fountain! From a calm note to an inner tear - Sometimes she was obedient, sometimes naughty ... She is cute and enchanting, fabulously beautiful! - Refined feminine forms. Exciting our blood with its charisma, With the gift of sensual hypnosis - Sometimes, she quickly flew like a comet, through life - Sometimes, our beauty just blossomed, being a shy rose: Caravel among fishing boats; Queen, in the midst of ordinary people; Cleopatra! - Passionately, but with genuine care... Her femininity radiated everywhere! Having absorbed life with a field blade of grass, Keeping the spirit - with a share of the lovely eccentricity of the wind, by the bird - Shining with witchcraft nature, Great! “She is a true sovereign!” Woman - a shining world; Mother-night of the universal beginning - With the light of the moon, she has silvered us, She sanctified us with crystal clearness!.. She swam softly through the sky like a young month. She smiled at us in a pink sunset ... The time of triumph has stopped - It was marked by thunder and lightning! October 9 - 10, 2019 (K.S.) St. Petersburg
Thank you K.S for writing that beautiful poem about Elizabeth. That is the most accurate description I've read about Elizabeth 🙂. Thank you 😊. Keep writing more poems about her ❤️
@@javiervalverde2374 Hello Javier! I'm Tom Valverde in Kansas City! I made my thoughts known at the top of the comments. I am pleased to have come across another "Valverde." Elizabeth was a delight, for most of my life. I was fortunate to have been able to meet her in Washington DC, in the early 1990s. More beautiful than l have words to describe. Take care and best wishes to a Fellow Valverde Family member.
@@javiervalverde2374 She inspired me to become an AIDS activist, and l was in Washington for lobbying days called AIDS Watch and was invited to a reception. Thanks for the reply! Tom 🍀😃
I saw Elizabeth Taylor & Maureen Stapleton that season in the reprisal of Lilian Hellman's "Little Foxes". For the sake of me, I can't recall anything other than I saw them. 😊 So long ago. 40 years?
Yes-1981-I was lucky enough to have gone to the Tony ceremony that night-Elizabeth was married to Senator John Warner at the time and I was introduced at to them at an after party by my Broadway producer friend--Liz was tiny BUT THOSE EYES!!! ❤️
@@loveanimals6981 Well, as a born/raised NYC/NY'er, the Broadway lights were a subway ride or a hop into a taxi & easy to get to, thanks! 😁 (Not anymore though, elsewhere now)
@@zyxw2024 Again, you were so fortunate. I was only a third grader living in West Virginia when this production would have premiered, and wouldn't even become familiar with it until years later. I loved when I've visited New York in the past (I've only been three times and they were all during the wintertime). Would love to visit again soon and in the fall. Very expensive place, of course (though you would know that very well, having lived there).
I don't know when this was filmed but she looks gorgeous every time I see her! More importantly, her heart was one of the most loving and generous I have ever known.
Brilliant! Back when "stars" had class, and Hollywood had "talent"! My one regret... having never seen or met Elizabeth Taylor... ☹ But my grandfather's cousin, actor Keefe Brasille, was in "A Place in The Sun" with her. He was in the opening scene with Montgomery Cliff, and later at the party scene, when Elizabeth and Montgomery danced, with the "closeups"! Watch the movie! 🤓 So WE had a slight connection. 😍
having seen her on stage in little foxes - she was amazing - the very best and as far as her humor - watch her on what's my line on TH-cam - she was always funny.
I don't really give a fuck about "Gee! She was on pills + booze!...". Dame Taylor has always had joy of life in her inner, after all. That contributed making her one among the greatest actresses on planet Earth, despite the whole sorrows she had to pass through (griefs, illness, serious ups and downs).
This is 1981. Before her first rehab stint at Betty Ford Center in 1984. She was probably drunk or otherwise high. Anyhow she is more her herself in this: funny, genuine....and not shy.
Met a taxi driver who picked her up at the Stuttgart airport. She was with a lady friend. This was back in the 70s. He said she seemed very nice so he started conversing with her. He had seen all her films and he asked about them. Especially "Lassie," "Who's afraid" and Cleopatra. She answered all his questions and he listened intently. It took an hour to get to the destination. She gave him the biggest he ever got in life. Another taxi driver in Stuttgart told me that he picked up Keith Richards.. Richards realized he recognized him so he sat in the passenger seat. Richards told him the limo never showed and he had to get to a Stones concert right away. Richards talked to him about this and that. When they got to the destination, Richards realized the guy wanted his autograph but was afraid to ask so Richards asked him and he gave it to him. He gave a 100 on a fair that cost 20 and told him to keep the change. Said he was one of the nicest people he ever met in his life.
Seeing Elizabeth and listening (TRYING TO) hear her charming self. I could NOT ERASE that GODDAMN RUDE AUDIENCE WHO I COULD HEAR NON-STOP AS SHE WAS TRYING TO TALK!!!!!!! Good GRIEF!
Her beauty is incomparable, though.she isn't tall, she's standing out, she sparks. Though.she had multiple husband, it didn't affect her integrity, she has class and descent.
Obviously she’d had a couple of jack D’s before coming out. But only a Star of this magnitude, beauty, wit, grace, exuberance and elegance, can pull this off. Her light may have diminished here on earth, but only to shine brightest in the Heavens.
Interesting that Richard Burton in his last letter said I want to come home. Just as interesting that one of the last things Elizabeth did when asked if she would marry again was howl loudly "No-o-o!" When men become as enchanting and riveting in personality and heart as Elizabeth this planet will be very interesting.
The fact that she did this was amazing and karma! 😂 During the beginning of her affair with Burton he evidently wailed that she was this Hollywood nothing! 😂😂
When Elizabeth Taylor walks into a room you DON’T remain seated
Now I see why so many men fell for her, it wasn't just the beauty, it was the fun, the humour, the irreverent joy in life. What a gal! 💕
Now I recall what Chevy Chase said, I think to Tom Snyder, about Cary Grant: "What a gal!"
Colin Farrell fell in love with her( I'm convinced of it!). And that was when it was pretty clear she was at the end of her life.
She never took herself seriously ! EXCEPT for AIDS ! 💙
I'd rather have Elizabeth Taylor say my name incorrectly than just about anyone else saying it correctly.
Hear hear! 💜💜💜
Elizabeth didn't make enough comedies, she had a great sense of humor
Pitty 😪 so sad...🤔 her hHumor is legendary 👍🙏 👏👏
You're right. She was a very witty woman. This tape is just one example.
This 5 mins and some second of a video is more legendary than few of the current generation's whole life career ❤❤❤ what an icon Dame Elizabeth Taylor 👏 🙏
the BEST!!! Her laugh alone was worth watching the show!
Thank you for posting. I had a true laugh watching this again.
Well the true nature of her stature is instantly revealed by the standing spontaneous ovation she received from a typically jaded sort of crowd who are not easily impressed or particularly star struck. But she was something else all together and they all knew it. Elizabeth is the last of a breed of genuine immortal movie stars.
"Immortal." I had not thought of that re. Elizabeth. But it fits like a glove! Thank you!
Beautiful and brilliant comment!
💜💜💜
But she’s dead 🤷🏻♀️…so immortal is a bit of a stretch 🤣🤣
There will never be anyone remotely like her ever again.
She was not only beautiful, but charming and funny as well! MEGASTAR!!!!!!!!
Her sense of humor is unique!!!
She was so beautiful. If your noticed, her eyes matched her dress. violet/purple.
How astute.
what a totally charming, down to earth, total sweetheart of a woman! her energy is fabulous.
Wow, I've never heard any of those last names, that was a tough presentation! Leave it to Elizabeth to make it funny, charming and entertaining.
There'll never be another Liz Taylor! Just beautiful, talented and in a league of her own!
EVERYONE "LOVED" THIS WOMAN !

What an awesome laugh - she’s a real beauty ❤ I bet a ball to be around ❤

We all heard what a great sense of humor she had. She had it all, didn't she?

I can imagine Richard Burton reciting the Yellow Pages in that marvelous voice. "Acme Sewer and Septic Tank! Call Us for An Estimate!"
What a legend!!
What a champion!!!
Stick it to em Liz!!!!

Every time i want or need a feel good moment, i watch this clip ♥️ SO AWESOME!
same for me ! i laugh and laugh again !!!
She is and she was one of the most talented woman in Showbiz .. a goddess in beauty in charm
That is someone with complete humanity, wit, charm and beauty. A real legendary star.
the one and only ! Icon
Love her laugh. She was very quick witted
Elizabeth was a glorious and unique talent and person
wel, trough all the things she went through in her life - the marriages, the heath problems, the addictions - I do think she was a realist who did whatever the hell she wanted too and had fun. You can't ask for anything more then that.

Elizabeth as ever ♥ fabulous fantastic
The cackling laugh behind that enormous diamond: quintessential Elizabeth Taylor.
Diamonds! Diamonds! and Diamonds!
She's not drunk, she's middle aged and can't read the cards! So damn funny! GB Liz!
She didn't even seem "impaired" to me at all. I think she was just laughing at the silliness of the "self importance" of these stupid award shows.
Award shows aren't stupid. Awards aren't stupid. And she wasnt laughing at them. Hard work and intelligence isn't stupid unless shallowness flippancy and jealousy make them so. She was laughing out of happiness and joy of the experience, and her camaraderie with the audience and their love for her.

"Elizabeth Taylor"
Miss Charm!.. She is, the same one, shining, hypnotically beckoning and inaccessible, from us inexorably retreating Universe "Elizabeth - Woman of Women".
I can’t help but admire you.
I look at the screen - and tears drip.
The thunder of enthusiastic applause has subsided -
You appeared in the world, being great prose!..
Blue eyes, their bottomless depths,
Conquered the souls of giants.
Internally - gullible and modest.
Externally - the noise of the palace fountain!
From a calm note to an inner tear -
Sometimes she was obedient, sometimes naughty ...
She is cute and enchanting, fabulously beautiful! -
Refined feminine forms.
Exciting our blood with its charisma,
With the gift of sensual hypnosis -
Sometimes, she quickly flew like a comet, through life -
Sometimes, our beauty just blossomed, being a shy rose:
Caravel among fishing boats;
Queen, in the midst of ordinary people;
Cleopatra! - Passionately, but with genuine care...
Her femininity radiated everywhere!
Having absorbed life with a field blade of grass,
Keeping the spirit - with a share of the lovely eccentricity of the wind, by the bird -
Shining with witchcraft nature,
Great! “She is a true sovereign!”
Woman - a shining world;
Mother-night of the universal beginning -
With the light of the moon, she has silvered us,
She sanctified us with crystal clearness!..
She swam softly through the sky like a young month.
She smiled at us in a pink sunset ...
The time of triumph has stopped -
It was marked by thunder and lightning!

Can hardly read
A beauty and an icon who could laugh at herself...very human...
Elizabeth Taylor's laugh is everything!! Her beauty is only superseded by her beautiful spirit and personality
This is Amazing & Wonderful
I don't know when this was filmed but she looks gorgeous every time I see her! More importantly, her heart was one of the most loving and generous I have ever known.
June 7,1981.
The name at 3:39 was actually James M. Nederlander, haha
Jimmy , I'm sorry....
Brilliant! Back when "stars" had class, and Hollywood had "talent"!

Ikona kina👌💝
Well Elizabeth you've cheered me up with that wonderful bawdy joyful Laugh of yours 🍸🥂🏳️🌈🥰
She is so funny....amazing woman....God Bless......
This is NOT an acceptance speech!!! 😆😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 too too funny. My mum’s favourite actress. Beautiful and funny sophisticated lady ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love love love her !!! So funny ! And yet I am guessing this was before her time at Betty Ford. She was lit !

It's easy to see why Richard Burton and all those 1000s of other men fell in love with E.Taylor.
God she was beautiful. And that rock!
Liz is literally the GOAT of actresses.
I saw that 42nd street with Jerry Orbach and Tammy Grimes and it was unforgettable
Nowadays if I want to see stars, I ask my wife to punch me in the face! 🤩’
Love her! ❤️❤️
This is 1981. Before her first rehab stint at Betty Ford Center in 1984.
She was probably drunk or otherwise high.
Anyhow she is more her herself in this: funny, genuine....and not shy.
Amazing she is like the first to be in so much film from her childhood to later years. Legend
5 minutes to present an award is just impressive honestly 🤣
Her laugh is priceless wht a down 2 earth STAR RIP u beautiful woman
She is hilarious😂😂😂
Catherine O'Hara parodied this clip on an episode of SCTV. Her imitation of Elizabeth Taylor is spot on.

With..a..face..like..hers..you..could..forgive..anything!

She’s totally classy and very interesting to hear her dither between English -Transatlantic - British accent
Her messing up the name of one of the most prominent producers and just losing it with laughter is just so endearing. I’m in love.

What a woman... at any size
HER LOUD CACKLE IS PRICELESS ! 😍💜
Her "Oh shit" face at 3:43 lol
The Tony Awards are so much classier than those awards they give out in Hollywood.
The best laugh
she was great -. GOOD fun!
2:36 perfect New York accent
INDEED !
Obviously she’d had a couple of jack D’s before coming out. But only a Star of this magnitude, beauty, wit, grace, exuberance and elegance, can pull this off.
Her light may have diminished here on earth, but only to shine brightest in the Heavens.
