“Age can not wither her,nor custom stale her infinite variety,
Other women cloy the appetites they feed ,she makes most hungry where she most satisfies.”
‘Sir, you and I have loved , but that’s not it,
You and I have lived , but there is not it”-
-Bard of Avon.
LOS ANGELES, CA (NBC NEWS) – Oscar winning actress Elizabeth Taylor died Wednesday at Los Angeles, Calif.‘s Cedars-Sinai Hospital at the age of 79. Her children were at her side when she died.
“My Mother was an extraordinary woman who lived life to the fullest, with great passion, humor, and love,” said her son, Michael Wilding, in a statement. “Though 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.”
In addition to her children, Taylor is survived by 10 grand children and four great grandchildren.
Taylor had been hospitalized six weeks ago with congestive heart failure. Though she had recently suffered a number of complications, her condition had stabilized and it was hoped that she would be able to return home.
Taylor, a two-time Academy Award-winning actress who in later life became notorious for her seven marriages and sometimes eccentric behavior, had reported health problems in recent years and appeared frail in public appearances.
