Elizabeth Taylor passed away today at the age of 79. I find it interesting that she won a BAFTA Award as Best Foreign Actress in 1959 and eight years later won as Best British Actress. She was in fact both British and American, having been born to American parents in London. Making her, I might suppose, the most famous anchor baby in the world.
