And the Winner Is...
The Elizabeth Taylor posters on the website are gorgeous. She's always been one of my favorite actresses, and one of the world's greatest beauties.
Although she won the Academy Award for "Butterfield 8," I believe that she should have won the Academy Award for "Suddenly Last Summer," or perhaps, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." I believe Joanne Woodward won for "Three Faces of Eve" the same year Elizabeth was nominated for "Cat." But I really feel Elizabeth was cheated out of the award for "Suddenly Last Summer."
The final scene in "Suddenly," where she explains to everyone what happened to her cousin, Sebastian, was truly horrifying and gut wrenching. She was marvelous in that scene. It might be that because she and Katherine Hepburn were both nominated for this movie that they split the votes.
The posters for "Butterfield" are great, but every time I see them, I remember that she should have won the award the year before.
The irony is Shirley McClaine was nominated the same year as Elizabeth was in "Butterfield 8," once said that she lost the award to a tracheotomy, because Elizabeth had had pneumonia and almost died.
As far as I'm concerned, Elizabeth could have won the Academy Award for "Raintree County" (more gorgeous shots of her!), "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," or "Suddenly Last Summer," and even "Taming of the Shrew" could have earned her that coveted award; she was marvelous!
Bravo Elizabeth – miss you on screen!
