[QUOTE="ClassyCo, post: 230908, member: 7"] While I've always been a fairly big Elizabeth Taylor fan, I can agree with you on a few points here. Her voice was kind of shrill and limiting, which why people were skeptical when she tried her hand at Broadway later in her career. Her performances range from really good to really bad. When she was on her A-game, I think she was really one of the best by far, but when she was bad, it was next to unbelievable just how drab she could be. Her career starting tapering off in the late 1960s, and after nearly a decade of starring in pictures together, she and hubby Richard Burton's professional success had hit the rocks. In all honesty, there was a lot of movies where she looked like she phoned it in, but there were just as many ─ in my theory ─ where she acted the rest of them off the screen. It's absurd for me to think that anyone would want to recast [I]Cat on a Hot Tin Roof[/I], which is easily one of my favorite movies. Anytime anyone asks me what my favorite old Hollywood movies are, it's guaranteed that it'll be mentioned in the top five. It's almost too hard for me to explain exactly why I love that movie, but I do, and I wouldn't recast it with anyone. Not another soul could've made it any better. It was letter-perfect.
