I actually love that she is so transparent about this topic. She is so real. She handles every question with wit, depth, and sincerity.

Beautiful lady inside and out. She was breathtakingly beautiful always, that face, those eyes. But she was even more beautiful inside as a person. She was extremely down to earth, she did so much charity work and her legacy continues to help people to this day. A true star in every way. We have nobody like this today. RIP beautiful lady.

I met her eldest son (who is one month older than I) Michael Jr.. I left a club around 3 in the morning and Michael was hitch-hiking at a bus stop. I was on my way to my apartment in Venice. I was leery! The top was down on my car and he "quietly" asked for a lift. He seemed "harmless" and the mist from the night was falling. I gave him a lift and we had a fantastic drive. Elizabeth Taylor reared at least one VERY REAL and kindly aware human being. We were both 23 years old.

Never in a billion years could you have been "just a wife". A mold was broken when you came into this world and shined your light and love on us.

I remembered the interviewer Phil Donahue had his own show, I believe when I was a child. Anyway, I can't believe how creepy his questions are to her, extremely sexist in my opinion. Elizabeth Taylor handles those gross questions with class and eloquence. She was a very beautiful and classy lady!

Definitely less offensive than Barbara Walters' questions. But for better or worse, they asked celebrities real and invasive and personal questions in the 1980s. It wasn't just puff pieces as vehicles to promote the current project.

Some of the questions simply wouldn't be asked these days and would be inappropriate like when he pointed out 'you were a virgin when you got married at 16' or commenting on her body. Having said that, I assume he got his information from her book which I assume she approved. Still very strange questions. Different times.

Look at the expression of her face when Donahue asks invasive questions. She has a look of contempt in her eyes toward Donahue. Even her vocal tones toward Donahue sound negative toward him, because of his arrogance.

I think she was the most beautiful actor, Hollywood ever had, and I think she was very kind and decent.......

She was so capable of expressing herself. I enjoy looking at her and most of all listening to her opinions and experiences in her life... I was hoping she would talk about her children, but Phil Donahue never asked about them. There is a lovely sincerity about her with elegance, calmness and understanding. My last comment is She's not at all self-centered.

A beautiful woman inside and out. They often say she thought the world revolved around her, but I think she definitely humbled as she aged and she is so intelligent and articulate here.

Liz was one classy dame.

Taylor gave us so many memorable performances in some great movies. But if anyone isn’t convinced of her supreme abilities as an actress, just watch Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf. She could portray anger, sadness, desperation, poignancy, humor, and even love, especially when she rhapsodizes about her “son” (no spoilers, in case you haven’t seen it). Truly one of the great film performances of all time.

Moms jeweler sold Richard the Krupp diamond ring. Mr. Pollack said it was the most gorgeous diamond he ever sold. I was there to buy a pendant for my niece and Sidney let me try on the emerald and diamond bracelet Forbes commissioned for Elizabeth. Gorgeous and worth $30k thirty years ago. What a thrill

I'd loved to have met her... she was the most beautiful of all Hollywood legends.. I'd love to hear her talk about Marilyn Monroe.

Great lady. Truly an icon.

I love that she had a second act in her 50s. Not a lot of women get that chance. And certainly not looking like she does here. It gave her the chance to create her perfume line, which is one of the most successful in history. She was worth hundreds of millions of dollars at the time of her death due to this second act. Otherwise, she would've had a modest retirement by comparison.

She had a great face!

An incredible woman

This is beauty. The kind that comes from the inside out. The kind that requires no plastic surgery. You are born this say or you aren't. Most of her life was spent in front of a camera, she did it her way, cameras be d@mned. Gotta get her book and The Richard Burton Diaries. He had to compliment her or he'd pi$$ her off! She lived on her own terms. Led her life with her heart. And yes, she was a great beauty. National Treasure. She sure had to have a tough skin. She did good :) I hope I get to meet her someday when it's my turn.

Facinating!

Get over yourself. He said bust. He didn’t say “titties, knockers, boobs, headlights, hooters, melons, cans.” That the trouble with women and other human beings today. Overly sensitive idiots.

Was she 54 years old in 1986? No doubt, her beauty was a reflexión of who she was inside. Minute 19:27 - 20:30

THIS IS TRUE CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD

I absolutely Love ET. But Phil, here not so much. The questions he asked about her size and weight were horrible. We would not stand for it today. She kept her composure, her intelligence and grace under pressure.

Some of those silly questions would not be tolerated now.

Absolutely Beautiful Woman

She is not happy with these questions.

I'd forgotten Phil's style of interviewing. It's almost jarring today. LOL

She was 54 when she did this interview. She looked like she was in her late 30s.

I suspect this interview was in fact in 1988 to promote the February 1988 release of her book "Elizabeth takes off".

He spoke 75% of the interview-Elizabeth spoke 25% ---typical interviewers in love with the sound of their voices---She was a class act

Elizabeth Taylor died 79 years old. I like her Eyes and lashes. İf she lives I love this. But RIP I upset 😭😭😭😭😭She is magnificent... Really magnificent...How take this Eyes and lashes??? Strong woman...Really magnificent woman...I love Liz... Good Liz...Really her Eyes purple. Hahahaha 😂😂😂😂😂Mutant woman...

Her mother was born in 1895, so this interview would have been in 1986.

17:00 the shade at PHIL 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My goodness, all he talks about is her body. I mean I know her book goes into the process emotionally and physically of her journey, but he is just not that respectful - doesn't go inward. She does. I know Phil probably didn't mean to come off that way, but I have seen him focus on the superficial instead of going deeper many times.

I've never disliked an interviewer as much as Donahue. So insulting to keep turning the focus on her weight. Ridiculous, odious pleb. I much preferred Dick Cavett's style and professionalism, and attention to detail.

I never liked Joan Rivers' humor. I miss Elizabeth...I think she's extremely intelligent, kind, and a good actress, but she shouldn't have hurt the wives of Eddie Fisher and Richard Burton if they weren't separated from their wives.

Back in the '70s, I loved Phil Donahue's in-depth interviews. But watching today, his overbearing interview style really doesn't wear well, does it?

Can anyone that sees this tell me what su-it is? I keep trying to spell it but it just comes out as suit which is something you wear. What is "a bowl of suit" mean? It sounds like something we fed our hogs when I was a kid. She said her eyes were "buried in a bowl of suit" (20:58) what does "suit" mean and how do you spell it? (Su-it). Suet maybe? But that's something you prepare with meat or suet for birds. Please let me know if you know what it is. 🙏 Is she speaking about her hair? Anyway... I love Elizabeth.
