I take my hat off to Elizabeth for doing these interviews. She was wealthy and famous and did NOT have to say anything to anyone ever about herself. Many of these interviewers were quite rude and very intrusive. They kept bringing up the fact that she had been overweight and they kept using the word "alcoholic" trying to bait her or shame her. Elizabeth never lost her cool and handled them all well. I think Elizabeth simply wanted to help people with addictions and was brave enough to speak out. She also decided to use her celebrity to bring attention to the AIDS crisis. No celebrity would speak up and defend gay young men dying of that disease. Nobody cared. Elizabeth helped to change that and raise funds for AIDS research and charities. Again, this was a gutsy thing to do at that time. Elizabeth did NOT have to say or do anything, if she chose, for the rest of her life. However, she did act out of a kind and generous heart and wanted to help.

She was so stunning here and honest. She adored Richard you couldvsee it in her eyes and hear it in her voice. But remember Richard has been gone 27 years and her great sense of loss over the sudden death of MJ was the beginning of the end for Elizabeth. She is buried in a place fitting for the most beautiful women of the 20th century. Rest in the arms of your loves & all the angels. This video is special TY for posting this tribute.

We all have known her forever it seems. We lived in LA, And in the Thirties and Forties, if you were a local, there was a good chance you would see one of these people. Many decades later, she was at the hospital I worked at. There was a crowd below, as the news blared she was there. We have a strict law now about patient privacy. Anyone who called the media would be fired. Our floor nurses were grilled, I knew them, and believed they had not called the news crews. It looked like the only one left was Miss Taylor herself. She felt she needed the publicity! God bless her.

One more time I see that programs that were created many years ago are still in place. This program that Elizabeth Taylor was referring to: Tough love, sounds very similar to the one use on: Intervention (close family members and friends gather around expressing their love for the person with the addiction problem, but drawing the line in what they will do or won't do for the person with the addiction problem) I love the fact that Elizabeth Taylor asked her kids for a couple of hours to make her own decision. As I read once last year; this kind of intervention might not be so effective if the person with the addiction problem does not go under his or her own will, but pressed by loved ones. Love the fact that it looks that she went to treatment under her own decision after all.

Ms Taylor has the most beautiful lipstick and it looks perfect for her.

MN, as always, does a great job here. ET knows what she was in for. They are two intelligent women having an open and intelligent conversation. Interesting how many viewers find this concept difficult to deal with. Being Welsh, I also love her comments about Wales.

I am reading the comments below, and I do agree that the woman interviewing Elizabeth is not warm or doesn't seem empathetic, but I do think it ends well, with Ms. Nicholson wishing her "a very happy new life, as the new Elizabeth Taylor". I am also a fan of Elizabeth's, she is an amazing actress, but she IS human and people seem to put her on a pedestal. By the way, my father was from Swansea in Wales. I'd been there as a child, and it is the most beautiful and breathtaking country!

I waited on her for a month in Chicago when she was doing "Private lives" in the early 80's and she was a mess but she was also fabulous so don't get me wrong but I saw it for my own eyes. Room service would bring up a huge silver tray with food and she said "put it on the floor for the bird" and the bird ate this expensive meal. I was amazed because I was hungry! Her last day she left for the Theater I organized a goodbye for her and all the doormen and bell boys gave her a rose and it was wonderful! On the street 30 fans clapped and shouted love to her.

well first of all most European interviewers are not impressed with American /Hollywood types as a rule..and secondly Elizabeth was not always as kind referring to Richard before his death..in interviews..so perhaps that was noted by someone who was also Welsh

Richard's widow Sally chose to have him buried there I believe, this was noted in a biography of Elizabeth that is an excellent read. Perhaps due to jealously? We might never know. I think it's a shame when such wishes aren't honoured by family when a person dies, especially if there is any malice behind it that isn't thought about in hindsight.
