Most of Taylor's work throughout the 1950's and beyond is legendary.

Before hitting adulthood and full-fledged stardom, the teenaged Elizabeth had a delightful supporting role in one of my favorite movies, 'Life With Father' (1947).

Also a 19yr old Taylor held her own opposite the great Spencer Tracy in 'Father of the Bride' and its sequel, 'Father's Little Dividend'.

Two of her most 'fun' bits of work were her guest appearance with then hubby Richard Burton on an episode of Lucille Ball's 'Here's Lucy' show, and her role as Fred Flintstone's mother-in-law in 'The Flintstones' movie starring John Goodman. From what I recall, she did that part in order to raise money for AIDS.


A wise and frugal government, which shall leave men free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement, and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned - this is the sum of good government.

- THOMAS JEFFERSON
