| Richard Burton often found Elizabeth in her boudoir, the contents of her jewelry box arrayed around her. When he asked her what she was doing, she would reply, “Playing with my jewels.” |

I thought she was gorgeous, down to earth and a touch bawdy, which caused the aristocratic Grace Kelly to raise a delicate eyebrow but elicited gales of laughter from Ava Gardner and me. She was, like another friend Natalie Wood, a girl’s girl — though some people would disagree and say that she was more of a man’s woman. What I mean is that Elizabeth was open and sincere, unlike so many Hollywood women. And, if she liked you, she genuinely liked you and was your friend for life. - Joan collins on Liz Taylor
“Elizabeth’s beauty doesn’t come from the shape of her face or nose or mouth of even those magnificent eyes, it comes from an inner strength and energy that very few people are blessed with. Also, a goodness and kindness that very few people are privileged or bother to see in her. They see the facade but not the remarkable woman inside. I’ve known her since she was just a teenager, and I really haven’t seen much change in the person herself except a growth in character. But she had always been the same person—true and real—and like all great beauties she becomes more so as she ages. She has had many battles to fight in her life and has won them with dignity and humanity. I admire her, and especially love her, because of her great love for animals and Michael Jackson.” — Ava Gardner
