Acting legend Elizabeth Taylor has passed away. She leaves behind her own life-long movie of ups and downs, marriage and divorce, and sickness and recovery. The world of entertainment is mourning the death of the last classic movie star.

Taylor died of congestive heart failure in Los Angeles at the age of 79.

Taylor's more than 50 movies included unforgettable portraits of innocence and of decadence, from the children's classic "National Velvet" to Oscar-winning transgressions in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" and "Butterfield 8".

Fans gathered on Hollywood's Walk of Fame to pay tribute to the iconic actress. They placed floral tributes on her star and reminisced about highlights of her career.

Sandra, Hollywood, California, said, "Well, all the big movies, from 'Cleopatra,' all that. She just lead an amazing life, and she went out with style."

Phil Schuman, Reporter of KTTV in Los Angeles, said, "Well, I mean, her whole life story: child star, spectacularly beautiful, all the marriages, almost dying, then all of her great work with AIDS research, Michael Jackson's best friend. It's just a one-of-a-kind story, I think."
