+Deivid io She looks like 40+. She always looked older in my opinion. No hate.

+eduarda cavani I agree with you. Maybe she looks like 40+, but she still looks great. I love those eyes and the colour of her skin.

+Deivid io bahhh hahahhaa she looks like a Manitee :) .... wonder what she tipped the Toledo's at ?? I'm guession 150-160 .... bahhhahahaaa

And the colour of those eyes,Violet eyes,very rare.

nice try Miz Taylor trying to distract us with that diamond,,,, when there are 2 boulders right beneath.

Absolutely her eyes and.....

Your not alone 👍👍👍👍

she is so beautiful! so classy and elegant!

👍

@P Raulin Dame Elizabeth Taylor was a great actress. She looked great in this clip.

Especially when pre-release publicity had implied that the movie was X rated and would not be able to be released in most theaters like Basic Instinct. Both movies were eventually rated R and the rest is history.

Midnight Cowboy became the first and only X-rated film to win Best Picture, though its rating was changed in 1971 to R after the MPAA revised its ratings criteria.

Agreed. But history has shown this to have been the right choice again only my opinion but the only other movie that could have come close to it was Butch cassidy.

+stv0728 Actually, she was far more beautiful when she was in her 20's.

Some actresses are just BORN. Elizabeth falls in that category.@@vettegaddia6234

@@vettegaddia6234 Love her in Cleopatra and Giant (and Little Women).

Wow,I got one of her movies

@@vettegaddia6234 Wow, I don't know! This is when movie- and rockstars really were iconic gods for a reason!! :o

his best performance was in rainman

You are right!

Randy Bailin He had better performances www.imdb.com

Marla Singer No way! He had many better performances than Rainman! Midnght Cowboy, Kramer vs Kramer, Tootsie, The Graduate to name a few.

Randy Bailin who did win that year ? This film was rated X in my state at the time , strange how it won when people were so uptight over certain material matter.

Lucky you! I wish I was born in an earlier decade.

The 69 carat Cartier diamond Richard Burton gave her was dazzling. I could not take my eyes off of it.

that tan is not normal

Gorgeous forever on the internet

Sadly, just 41 years after she presented the Best Picture Oscar to Midnight Cowboy, which is still, to date, the only X-Rated film to win the Oscar for Best Picture (A precursor to the R rating still used today), Elizabeth Taylor tragically passed away due to numerous health problems at the age of 79, just a few days after the 83rd Academy Awards took place.

yes, that happens. people die.

Dave Fuller AMEN!!!!

Too much make up et al here inhibits her natural beauty.

The American It was X when it came out.

You think so!!!

Nothing but a bunch of commies now

Very much true!

They still mean something. It is you who have changed.

@@normanalvarez5751 Many more communists in Elizabeth's day than today. And those communists actually read Marx.

Lol 😆

50 years of aggressive and omnipresent advertising has succeeded in creating a consumer culture by programming us to value material possessions over creativity and art. I wonder how different our country would be if we reduced advertising by 50%.

@@robjohnson8214 thank you for not making a political comment.....some people just can’t accept changes sometimes have nothing to do with Liberal or conservative...

Replacement of good acting with special effects equals lesser development of Brando or H Fonda quality performances,

@@johnlatham3854 Spot on.

You got old, that's where it went wrong.

its a man

Is that really a spray on tan?

She loved the sun and often vacationed Acapulco.

No, love the tan!

I agree, she would look better without the tan!

Oh fuck up with your demands as to what a woman should look like

Absolutely.She had Roman Goddess beauty.

V true 👍

Likely we never will again see the beauty the likes of Liz

YOU mean Greek .. anyways@@martydav9475

Ms. Taylor campaigned against "Anne of a Thousand Days" because hubby Burton and Genevieve Bujold had an affair while making it!!! She succeeded: Maggie Smith won one of the most unexpected Best Actress Oscars ever for "The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie"!!!

All the Oscar speeches should be as brief and direct as Mr. Hellman's!!!

I just watched "Midnight Cowboy" a couple of weeks ago. It's still a haunting movie almost 50 years later.

ldchappell1 It's a good move, but damned depressing......

David S. Yep. I hate the ending.

Look immortal in that Oscars scene,wow

In my not so humble opinion in her day the most beautiful woman to grace the screen decades later I am still mesmerized by her beauty damn good actress and her inner beauty as a great humanitarian

All of the beauty ran out in 1989.

Derek Seven maybe because we are not in the seventies anymore.

@@joelitu ...Yes, and more's the pity.

maybe angelina jolie

Wow,beyond gorgeous

I remember studying that play in the 6th grade, and watching the movie for it too...

I believe Elizabeth Taylor has a English British back ground. The Queen's English. She's British/American. She was after all married to Richard Burton the darling Welsh stud. So Richard wouldn't put up with American slang. They sure as Hell don't make beauties like that anymore, and now everything is so PC. I did see her on set 1980s Toronto Canada amazing woman. I've always had a crush on her. My English pronunciation and writing sucks. Be safe wear the mask 🇨🇦

Agree...not like the trashy useless speeches today......lost interest in them altogether.....!!

@@shirleycameron7718 Everything Everywhere turned to crap All At Once.

What’s wrong with showing emotion and being human? I prefer to see people showing joy when something special happens in their life as opposed to some robotic reaction void of any emotion as if it was business as usual

For a historical movie like Midnight Cowboy he should have said more

Yes!👍

I love that film for so many reasons it never seems dated just like the film Network Midnight Cowboy and Network were ahead of their time Midnight Cowboy focused on among other things homeless people before that became a national issue and Network focused on reality shows before they became a part of the entertainment industry they don't make films like this anymore

@@johnfulton4061 Another great film from that era is ..THE WILD BUNCH....recognized as a Masterpiece now.

Richmond, I cannot disagree. Just thinking of her in her prime makes me weep.

CosmicStargoat Have you seen Liz in "Taming of the Shrew"? The marriage scene shows her awesome beauty as a truly transcendental experience - I literally lose my breath every time I see it.

coralarch There's a wonderful story in one of her biographies in which the barely adolescent Elizabeth walks through the MGM commissary. (This is from memory and, alas, lacks details, but the gist remains true.) A middle-aged male executive, upon spotting her, basically did a spit take. "She was only 13," he recalled, "but wow!"

geokaplan59 I can believe it. Even as a 2 year old, she had unbelievable charisma and beauty. Interestingly, even though I've seen impersonators who really do resemble her, they all lack her indefinable magic...I think Liz was at her most divine when she made "Taming of the Shrew"- the wedding scene both cracks me up laughing, and makes me gasp at how lovely she is...

Yes, she's one of those people who looks great regardless of age or size.

She was not expecting him to win. No one was.

I thought it deserved to win but I was shocked when it did I thought it was to risque and adult oriented for the same people that year that gave an Oscar to John Wayne but sent Jane Fonda home empty handed Ithought they were going to give it to Hello Dolly inthe sixties four of the best picture winners were musicals even by today's standards Midnight Cowboy is a little shocking

If short and sweet meets your criteria, then check out Rita Moreno. She only said "Thank You".

..love the hair style....!!

Sorry to disillusion you: Liz's eyebrows were completely drawn on by MGM's makeup dept. She used 8 different color pencils kept in a refrigerator by her makeup table, kept very sharpened. It came out when she went into Betty Ford for rehab, and a reporter saw her without them.

shhhh they trim, pluck and wax , because the NATURAL beauty youre speaking of , they have none, so you see .....they use those to get ...more beauty the real woman is the one you look at in the very morning when you wake up and shes still sleeping

Her tan is awful. Fair skin is far better

Except for Hello Dolly, I agree. I watch Butch Cassidy fairly regularly, have seen Midnight Cowboy at least a dozen times, and recently saw Anne and Z….surprised how much I enjoyed both of them….what a great year for movies.

Bette: "Hold my beer."

@@johntechwriter hahahhaha....

Exactly !

By todays standards, it would be PG-13
