Elizabeth Taylor - High School Years - by Richard Bassett

Elizabeth Taylor did not go to a conventional high school. She was schooled at MGMs Little Red Schoolhouse and her high school years were from 1946 to 1950. School wasnt an eight hour a day chore. Three hours were spent in school and three hours were spent on the movie set. Early on, her social life was uncomplicated and a bit lonely. At 14, she met Marshall Thompson, who gave her first kiss on Christmas Eve 1946. She developed a crush on both Peter Lawford (1947) and Robert Stack (1947). She was engaged to be engaged to Army Lieutenant Glenn Davis (1948). As he went to Korea, she had a letter out to him every night. But when she met 27 year old William Pawley, poor Glenn was no more. Elizabeth announced her first engagement in June 1949. She was 17 years old. When William wanted her to give up her career for him, the romance ended. She fell in love with Montgomery Clift in the autumn of 1949, but he was gay. They developed a lifelong friendship. Next, she dated singer, Vic Damone before meeting, Nicky Hilton, who would become her first husband. She graduated from high school in January 1950, a month before she announced her second engagement. In viewing these short film clips, please donate to the cause that has become Dame Elizabeth Taylors life mission for over two decades. The eradication of AIDS in the world. Until such time, The Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation funds programs and organization that give direct care to the population of millions affected with HIV/AIDSwhether it is direct care or related/ associated services. So many people are now living longer with AIDS/HIV due to advances in viral medication technology, but the impact of living a life with AIDS is far reaching. AIDS affects all of us, in one way or another. Generations of young people are not conscious of the 1980s. The face of AIDS has changed since the time when those who were ill were visibly stigmatized, akin to being lepers. Now, those with HIV/AIDS live life among the general population attempting to cope with the disease. Sometimes, silently. Emotionally, the impact is just the same as those first diagnosed. Fear. The only solution is to rid the world of this disease, therefore opening a technological highway aimed to ignite the remedy to so many other diseases as well.
Any amount of time or money will push this development ahead, not behindnever behind!
Thank you, Richard Bassett

Michael Jackson is in Hell, checkout Spritlessons(dot)com and read the testimony of a Latin girl who was taken to Hell by Jesus and shown parts of Hell, was shown Pope John Paul II and a somewhat famous Mexican Singer and dancer. Elizabeth is there no doubt! Checkout PROPHECIES-dot-ORG! and my videos! TIME IS FAST RUNNING OUT ON THIS EARTH!!!!!!!

Nice video Richard. It would have been nicer however if you had added info about with whom Elizabeth is portrayed in each picture and in which year and/or month the picture was taken (in undertitling or something).

The music is very beautiful, and fits well, in my opinion. Only the youtube note on the right saying it's from Enya must be totally wrong.

She was truly an amazing woman, may she rest in peace.

[TheBobbij]

This month another Hollywood Star and legend went to her eternal rest, Elizabeth Taylor. To her family, her closet friends, and all those who loved her, may she rest in peace and may the Good Lord in heaven comfort you. I believe that there is a place better than this namely heaven, and when our loved ones pass away there soul still lives on. Though it is difficult to part with them, I choose to rejoice for they are likelier happier, God Bless.
