Montgomery Clift on Elizabeth Taylor: “You know how it is when you love somebody terribly but you can’t describe why? That’s how I love Bessie Mae.”

"There were a lot of nannies and assistants to take care of the kids. She was more of the pal than the disciplinarian. She was the kind of mother who said, ‘I’m here if you want to talk to me.’ She was only 21 when she had Michael, they weren’t that far apart in age, and she took that approach with all of them.“ said William J. Mann, author of "How to Be a Movie Star: Elizabeth Taylor in Hollywood."
“What is beauty? It lies in the eye of the beholder, say cautious philosophers. But there is beauty universal- a dawn, a sunset, the silver rippling of a book, nature in all her magical manifestations. Woman’s beauty, however, is controversy itself, a thing written in duels as well as drawing-room debates. Unless, of course, the woman is Elizabeth Taylor. A femme fatale even in her teens, today a strange combination of aloofness and sensuousness, she walks in beauty as few others. And this is so whether the camera catches her aware or unaware, under whatever light, in whatever fleeting mood.”
