Elizabeth Taylor – 79 (1932-2011)

Elizabeth Taylor captured our hearts with stellar performances in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and continued to reign well into the late 1960s. During her later years, she was well known for leading a lavish lifestyle and was never really out of the public eye.

Sadly, the movie icon was plagued with severe illness throughout the last few years of her life, eventually passing away in 2011 due to congestive heart failure. This particular photo in which Taylor looks frail was one of the last ones taken of her during those days when she could move around only in a wheelchair.
