RIP to legendary actress Elizabeth Taylor, who passed away this morning at age 79. Taylor won two Academy Awards for best actress and starred in over 60 films during her career, including “Father of the Bride,” “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?,” “Butterfield 8,” “Suddenly, Last Summer,” and “A Place In The Sun.” She was also known for her quotable personality, her eight marriages and her strong work as an AIDS philanthropist. We have numerous photos of her in our Billy Rose Theatre Collection at our Library For The Performing Arts - we’ll be sharing several throughout the day. 

As part of the Visions of the South film series, the Belcourt Theatre will be screening John Huston’s Reflections in a Golden Eye this weekend, starring Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando.  These screenings will certainly be even more special now.
