Oh come on, everyone knows that one of the privileges of being a dowager type is that you get to screech at people and order them around. I for one am greatly looking forward to that time in my life.

but Liz has been screeching since she was about 30.

Perhaps she suffered from premature dowagerization. It can be corrected with hormones, but maybe she never got the right ones.

Catherine O'Hara did her screech/giggle/overmedicated voice perfectly on SCTV.

yes, liz, he does.
This is a soft woody floral in the classic mold, slightly low-budget but pretty good—lush, creamy, and sweet, with a tropical white-flowers accord smelling slightly like ripe bananas, all bolstered by some of those big, powdery musks you'll recognize from your laundry soap. Seems designed to waft up from cleavage.

A very popular (and normally witty) Twitter account just tweeted out the fact that Liz Taylor was only 34 (actually 33) when she was in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and all the commenters were like "OMG, WHAT? KILL ME NOW" etc. Nobody pointed out the obvious fact that she was *playing* 52 in it, which is why she put on weight and put grey in her hair, duh.

Via TCM:
Conspirator's most prominent attribute is that it gave 17-year-old Elizabeth Taylor her first grown-up role, playing wife to more than twice her age co-star Robert Taylor, a continued sore point of embarrassment for the latter. Vanity aside, the veteran leading man later admitted that young Liz's beauty and sexuality would drive him crazy on the set, causing the actor to become so aroused that re-takes would be necessary, lest some sharp-eyed censors took note of unsightly bulges in the trouser area.

Robert Taylor? Barbara Stanwyck’s second husband?

Yes the droopy man

He was a big star at some point. Hard to imagine now.

When he is young you can cock your head and see it from a modern POV but he gets leathery and smoked out pretty quickly

See also: George Brent.

George Brent's primary value was in remembering his lines and not upstaging his leading ladies.

Also George Brent was in the IRA!

Forgot about that. There’s something else about him too, some sort of personal excitement Bette Davis mentions which didn’t really translate to the screen for whatever reason.

Ha, I just went looking and did find a book on George Brent which has kind of a hilarious (sub)title.

Apparently it was one of HuffPo’s Best Film Books of 2013.

Maybe the book that was listed was another by the same author, perhaps about one of Brent’s wives, Ruth Chatterton.
