Liz Taylor Discusses Marriage on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" - 1992

[WickedTornado]

My late Mom grew up with Johnny Carson in tiny Norfolk, Nebraska (pron. Nor-Fork). He was 2yrs. older, and they would walk the shortcut home from school together. I asked her what he was like back then. She said that he was a very popular guy....but even with that....basically a loner. Not a weird loner....but she said it was almost like this guy was destined for something much much bigger in life than what that little town offered at the time. Everybody else just kind of knew that about him.

[WickedTornado]

A couple of serious...all-pro...entertaine­rs there. What an absolute joy to watch. And if I were a betting man, I'd say that the two of them are truly having a ball being out there with each other. This caliber of entertainer...the ones with huge talent and decades-long successful careers, are either already gone or are leaving us quickly. I don't think that there are too many "current" entertainers out there now that can fill their shoes. A select few, but not many. God, I miss Carson at night.

Even though this was posted by the official Johnny Carson channel, I am POSITIVE that the year in the description is wrong.

This is from February 21, 1992. Not in 1991. This video is from 1992.

Most beautiful woman in the world! I don't care what anybody says!

[LaTigraVioleta]

@willystar777 Yes!

I remember watching this in '92. Now I'm 33 and I'm seeing just how hot Elizabeth Taylor was even then. These were real stars. Now we have turds like Jay Leno and whatever CW network flavor of the week or Ryan Reynolds. Barf.

[WickedTornado]

@hurikayne1 Yeah, and when you're naming talk-show host "turds", don't forget to name David Letterman....and John Stewart, Bill Maher, the women from "The View", etc.

"See, MY men have stayed the same age." LOL! I can actually relate to that in my own way. I'm an 18-year-old senior in high school, and all of the boys in the same grade as me are still the same age they always were when they started acting like total jerks all the time. Sigh, boys just never grow up, do they?

[WickedTornado]

@caitlinjane92 (POST Well, if you really are 18, and I'm presuming female, I'll try to give you an honest answer. I'm a 57 yr. old male. But trust me, a young 57. I know that sound impossible to an 18yr. old, but it's all about your attitude mentally. Caitlin, you can't expect too many 18yr. old guys to be as mature as you think they should be. (See Post 2 of 2)

[WickedTornado]

To Caitlinjane92 (Post 2 of 2) Same goes for the females. It's almost impossible to become "who" you will be while you're still living at home with parents. But...once you graduate...and move on in life...you'll see fairly soon just who "grows up" and who stays in the sandbox. Once out on your own...you'll find that all your friends, male and female..including you...will have some of life's shit thrown at them. We all get it. That is what makes people either mature...or not. Best of luck to you.

[caitlinjane92]

@WickedTornado Well, thank you very much for the advice, WickedTornado. I'm just at the point in my life where I've just had enough of the ridiculousness I've had to put up with with the boys I've come across in my life. I do believe things will get better for me by the time I get out of high school, though, which I'm very excited about.

[WickedTornado]

@caitlinjane92 Hi CaitlynJane, First off, you are very welcome for the advice I gave you. It's cool of you to thank me. I certainly didn't expect that. It's 7pm here in Arizona, and I just got home from my business. So, my little routine is to take a quick catnap, and then get up and either get online and surf around, or maybe watch one of the few tv shows that I like. I'm not a big tv guy...never have been. I call the t.v. the "shit fountain". I'll write again, so check back.

[FAST70442]

[goddesseagle11]

I miss her laugh so much and wonderful smile :( Thank you lord she was larger than life and so finding her in interviews and movies is simple !! R.I.P. Dame Elizabeth :) and thank you for being so great in so many ways, your truly my hero ;)

[1995MINX]

this is wonderful, she is so beautiful in this clip & i love her jacket... where can i get one lol.. i have loved her since i was a baby!! x

[TinyDancer500]

Time may prove otherwise, but at least Larry loved her enough to keep his trap shut after she died. Thanks for the clip, guys, what a stunner she was right 'til the end.

[DominoPetachi83]

This is from 1992, not 1991!!!!!

[verbusen]

I don't think the Larry marriage lasted long after this show, LOL.

[DominoPetachi83]

@verbusen Actually, Liz was with Larry longer than any man except Richard Burton!

They were together for 8 years (dated for three, married for five).

[alrhazes]

i later learned she married, like what, 7-8 times? so that makes her a cheap whore being passed around? :-/

[zoics1]

I actually stayed up late on a school night to watch this when it aired! I was such a bad ass! LOL!

[MuzzafuzzaGaming]

RIP, what a legend.

[queenrocks77]

great clip. They are both missed.

[Kenmorfdublin]

Jesus she was still beautiful, the world is just that little bit diminished by her absence, love and miss you Liz you angel ;) xxx
