My first tribute to Liz. It's dedicated to the period when she looked her most beautiful and happy, in my opinion. And my all times favourite photos of her are the ones taken at the Cannes Film Festival 1957 wearing a diamond tiara (which she also wore at the Academy Awards). In them she's a real "mirage of beauty".

"I've been astonishingly lucky with love - I've had two great loves in my life. Mike and I only had thirteen months together, but now I see that Mike's love was a legacy to me. Mike was amazing: so loving and so unbelievably larger than life." "His greatest legacy to me was the gift of love, knowing not only how to give but how to receive with love" (Elizabeth Taylor)

"Elizabeth doesn't think like a star or act like a star, maybe that's why she is a star. Somebody said last night "Gee, she looks beautiful" and that was the greatest misstatement. She doesn't look beautiful, she is beautiful." (Mike Todd)

Photos and footage of this wonderful couple.

  • this was absolutely beautiful!

  • @twinklegleam Thank you :)

  • Aww that first song is so adorable with the clips. What a wonderful couple! But the final music is Edward Scissorhands yes? Very haunting, which suits the almost magical quality their love had, and of course, the tragic end. I think this is my favourite video of yours Dina!!

  • @MonroeSmile Thank you, Claudia! And I read a wonderful article about Liz in your blog. Yes, the second song is from "Edward Scissorhands" and the first is "Real Love" by Regina Spektor (John Lennon cover). I decided not to show the footage of the tragic end, only the good times :)

  • Life doesn't make sense without Love as sung by Serge Gainsbourg in "Javanese"

  • @didiermeylan Beautiful song :)
