Ep 76: Elizabeth Taylor in BUtterfield 8 (1960)

Elizabeth Taylor won her first Oscar by playing a brave woman who declared sexual independence. What makes her performance a stand out is the rage that anchors her libido. When Taylor appears in a fury, stomping around in a slip, high heels, and a stolen mink, with a bottle of hooch under her arm, she gives you the strength to fight another day. After 18 years in MGM, four marriages, three children, and a tabloid scandal, all before she turned 30, Elizabeth Taylor earned the Oscar, before the Vatican condemned her for 'erotic vagrancy'.
