So long Dame Liz Taylor

The Dame Elizabeth Taylor, owner one of the most beautiful violet eyes, a voluptuous neckline, and a huge collection of jewelry, passed away past Monday morning. Elizabeth was known for her dramatic personal life, her eight marriages, extensive media exposure and a love for grandiose jewelry.

The most famous of all her husband's was the actor Richard Burton, the love of her life who she married twice.

She wasn't a fashion icon, however she went to the fashion spotlight with the strapless white gown covered in daisies Edith Head designed for Taylor in 1951's in A Place in the Sun.

Her wardrobe also became very popular in a Hot Tin Roof where she wore a white dress that was licensed by its costume designer, Helen Rose.
