I was mad for her, too.<br /><br />I will make the change to the text to reflect Taylor's role in Raintree County, another favorite film of mine.<br /><br />Thanks.Alan Carubahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10901162110385985193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-12799048678880443572011-03-26T16:51:09.205-07:002011-03-26T16:51:09.205-07:00Just between you and me, Liz was not in Night of t...Just between you and me, Liz was not in <i>Night of the Iguana</i>; at least not in the Huston movie or the Broadway premiere. Burton <i>was</i> in the movie, with Deborah Kerr and a totally unforgettable Ava Gardner.<br />I really grew to love Taylor for her AIDS efforts and her offer to act as a replacement for the Entebbe hostages.retchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14687298077760120992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196554259323465442.post-85946626927571819042011-03-24T06:56:42.124-07:002011-03-24T06:56:42.124-07:00Back in "68" when I was just turned 18, ...Back in "68" when I was just turned 18, I was in Florida at Hialeah with our family's string of horses. I was lucky enough to be up in the clubhouse with my old man and two of our owners at a table in the restaurant when Miss Taylor came in and sat at the table next to us. To this day, I'm not sure I have ever seen a more beautiful woman in person. I was lucky enough to get introduced to her and she was extremely gracious to a star struck 18 year old. One of the great moments in my life to be sure. The great thing about it was Mickey Rooney was at the track that day also, someone we saw a lot by the winner circle in those days.joetotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16614909072614184465noreply@blogger.com
