Anthony Geary Issues Statement on Liz Taylor's Passing
As the world mourns the passing of silver screen icon Elizabeth Taylor, friends and actors who worked with her are sharing their memories, in tribute of the legend. General Hospital’s Tony Geary released a statement about Taylor, who originated the role of his onscreen nemesis Helena Cassadine.
Elizabeth was more than a great star, she was an amazing human being. Her world famous physical beauty paled in comparison to the beauty that radiated from her heart and soul. She had great humor, didn’t take herself too seriously, and had the most wonderful bawdy laugh. She was a fierce and loyal friend and tireless advocate. She dedicated herself to education, treatment and the search for a cure for HIV/AIDS long before it was fashionable to do so. Back in the dark days of ignorance and prejudice against people stricken with the disease, Elizabeth was at the forefront of the battle. Ever ready to give love, comfort, and dignity to those whose lives had been devastated and cut short, her generosity was nothing short of spectacular. It made her furious to hear anyone claim that people who had HIV/AIDS were somehow morally inferior or that the disease was some kind of punishment. I was fortunate enough to call her my friend and every moment I spent in her company was unforgettable. I loved her very much. The world is a little darker, a little colder, a little less beautiful without her.

*sigh*
That couldn't have made me smile more.
I actually welled up with tears reading that - Tony is such a beautiful person and I was disheartened to hear about Elizabeth's passing but what he said summed it up.
The last great leading lady of the silver screen!
RIP Elizabeth Taylor

She was the most beautiful woman in the history of movies in my opinion. She was a champion of many issues. There is still one great leading lady left of the silver screen however, Olivia de Havilland is still alive and kicking in Paris at the age of 94. She is a truly great lady in ever sense of the word.

A beautiful and moving tribute she was always my favorite on screen and off (and recently re-watched Raintree County and A Place in the Sun with Montgomery Cliff). RIP LaLiz.
