Taylor was not only the most blessed actress, but also the most loyal of friends and defender of homosexuals in Hollywood. She won a special Oscar, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for her efforts to support AIDS research.

"Is this something that we can bear? No. The AIDS crisis is not over." Taylor once said.

Taylor's private life is also a legend. She was a star at age 12, a bride and a divorcee at 16, a superstar at 19 and a widow at 26. She has married 8 times. One of her former husbands, former U.S. Senator John Warner, 84, paid tribute to the late star during an event in Washington.

John Warner, Former US Senator, said, "First, may I say on behalf of myself, my children, and the children of Elizabeth's family, thank you for all the heartfelt condolences that you've expressed for this iconic figure in the history of her profession."

Michael Jackson, one of her beloved friends accompanied her through many important moments in her life time.

"To me she's the queen. She's in the field that we're in, I think she's the most wonderful of all. I mean, she's the last human queen of acting. I think she's wonderful. I love her." Singer Michael Jackson said when alive.

Michael passed away last year. The death of the king and queen in the acting and singing fields leaves a huge gap in the entertainment world and deep sorrow for their fans.
