We sadly report that legendary screen goddess Dame<\/strong> Elizabeth Taylor <\/strong>passed away at the age of 79 of congestive heart failure.\u00a0 Deets inside…<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oscar winning actress Elizabeth Taylor died today in\u00a0Los Angeles at\u00a0Cedars-Sinai Hospital after being there for 6 weeks. She was 79-years-old.\u00a0 The reported cause of death was congestive heart failure.<\/p>\n

In a statement <\/a>to the press, her son Michael Wilding <\/strong>said,<\/p>\n

\n

“My Mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love.\u00a0\u00a0Though her loss is devastating to those of us who held her so close and so dear, we will always be inspired by her enduring contribution to our world. Her remarkable body of work in film, her ongoing success as a businesswoman, and her brave and relentless advocacy in the fight against HIV\/AIDS, all make us all incredibly proud of what she accomplished. We know, quite simply, that the world is a better place for Mom having lived in it. Her legacy will never fade, her spirit will always be with us, and her love will live forever in our hearts.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Known as the first celebrity to take on the AIDS<\/em> epidemic and for her legendary looks and many marriages, Elizabeth also ushered in the modern-day celebrity fragrance craze when she released her first scent.<\/p>\n

She also leaves behind a legacy of great film roles as she began acting at the age of 12.\u00a0 She won her first Oscar for Butterfield 8\u00a0<\/em>in 1960 followed by a second Oscar for Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?<\/em> in 1966.\u00a0 Then there was Cleopatra,<\/em> the movie known for her dramatic costumes and introducing her to the love of her life, Richard Burton<\/strong>.\u00a0 Other notable films include Cat On A Hot Tin\u00a0Roof<\/em>, Little Women <\/em>and\u00a0Giant.<\/em><\/p>\n

She will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n
