Yesterday we lost a true Hollywood great, Elizabeth Taylor. With her passing, it makes me think how those classic days are really fading fast, and all we will have left is the memories. Elizabeth Taylor, even with her faults, had style, grace, class and beauty. Today’s Hollywood cannot hold a candle to what use to be.
I am only 37, but I fell in love with those old days when I was a little girl. Watching the classics on TV and wanting to be like Elizabeth Taylor or Ingrid Bergman. Watching the Oscars was a special thing and what an event for the whole family to enjoy. Those days are long gone and I do not believe we will ever have a time like that ever again.
Our Hollywood today is filled with many talentless who do not have an idea of what class is and think that drinking yourself silly or acting like a total ass is entertainment. Sadly, there are few movies that I own that I can call favorites from our generation.
In my opinion, I would love to have Old Hollywood back, not the drama filled, look at me types we have today. There is no more glamor or grace on the silver screen any longer, instead we get stuck with those like Lindsey Lohan. Where are those actors and actresses like Judy Garland, Humphrey Bogart,and Ingrid Bergman. Who would be the next Elizabeth Taylor? No one will ever be able to fill her shoes in my eyes. RIP Ms. Taylor. You were a beautiful soul, even with your own problems, you touched so many with your movies and your absolute passion to help. Your work for AIDS research will go on through others and you will shine for all time in your movies like you shine now like a star in the sky.
