3 things about Brian G. Hutton’s ZEE AND CO. [1972]
1. “There’s nothing I hate more than soulful people. She’s always a little out of breath and sees beauty in everything. Especially in shit.”
2. Margaret Leighton’s enormous wig and glasses.
3. Dumping his suitcase on the hood of his car.

#ElizabethTaylor won the #Oscar for her performance as "Martha." #RichardBurton is her husband "George."
It's a juicy role, full of venom and rage, and Taylor went absolutely *beyond and DGAF what anyone thought!
Must-see, if you haven't. It's full of shouting and drinking and some violence, so not for everyone.

Tonight in 1993 — #ElizabethTaylor was presented w/ an A.F.I. Lifetime Achievement Award on ABC.
She used the national platform to call to attention to AIDS.
“We've come a long way in the last decade,” she said. “And I know you are willing to go the whole mile and do whatever it takes.”

Had the very pleasant experience I haven't had in a while, of reading TWO books in a row I discovered completely serendipitously (scrolling through #libby) and THOROUGHLY enjoyed:
"The Crocodile" by #MaurizioDeGiovanni
and "Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont" by #ElizabethTaylor (no, not THAT Elizabeth Taylor)

126 followers · 650 posts · Server techhub.social🎬 #TCM is #screening its 4th #movie today based upon Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning play—"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1958) starring #PaulNewman and #ElizabethTaylor.
Newman's "Brick" is an ex-jock, the scion of a wealthy Southern family. He has "latent homosexual feelings" for his jock buddy "Skipper" who recently died.
But when the smash-hit #Broadway play was adapted for film:
"'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof' not only conforms with the [rules to self-#censor] #HaysCode but, through revisions, is made an exemplar of it. Director and co-writer #RichardBrooks neatly erases the #narrative’s knottiest questions and replaces them with the kind of perfect #Christian values the code sets out to propagate. The #film became the kind of #homophobic attack on #queerness that Williams sought to #critique, inverting his complex progressives in favor of easily digestible #moralizing.

We're watching a #Travel programme in #PuertoVallarta in #Mexico and I just have to share my favourite photo from our visit there a few years ago. We were at #ElSet - a restaurant frequented by #ElizabethTaylor and #RichardBurton while he was filming #NightOfTheIguana - and one old local nearby decided to #moon us, thinking we couldn't see him. My #photography speed is legendary. His mate saw me shoot, laughed, told his friend I'd caught him, and he shuffled off quickly.

How to write ✍️ , what’s best to read, how to rate objectivity?
“Is an #author stuck in the #bubble of #adoration, working to convince us of the subject’s #worthiness?
Or is the author outside the bubble, assaying the ups & downs, ins & outs, of a famous person with #clarity & #context?” 🤔
