As with all of the other folks above who have complimented you on your work, it was _fantastic._ I wonder if you've had the chance to meet Dame Taylor in subsequent years? If not, now's the time...she's on Twitter, you know! ;)Alexandra Scarborough (Sasha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13782399049321839354noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191279039961200439.post-51887395948402712652010-08-16T20:58:35.997-07:002010-08-16T20:58:35.997-07:00art, the dialog between a muse and his/her fantasy...art, the dialog between a muse and his/her fantasy. herb ritts, wild@heart, in my case, shaped my own evolution. the best that can be said of art is the inspiration it instills in the viewer, and the motivation that viewer uses to create and contribute. It's not enough to be inspired. It's necessary to invent. With this role, you the professional, her the persona, you the individual, and the quality you admired most in her all collided, creating a magic of complexity and character. That's the invention which transcends the role of either individual. That's the inspiration which fuels growth and change, and helps us to create pantheons and pyramids.TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00863165578828939699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191279039961200439.post-69199740130416978052010-08-14T11:00:30.193-07:002010-08-14T11:00:30.193-07:00A deeply personal and insightful read.

Thanks, Sherilyn!<br /><br />As a side note: I've recently began attending group therapy and my latest assignment is to list 25 positive thoughts/experiences I've had today. I think I'll list reading this entry as one of them (it's actually more difficult finding 25 things than you'd think). :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191279039961200439.post-84285946444075049582010-08-13T11:48:09.235-07:002010-08-13T11:48:09.235-07:00this is one of your most revealing, beautiful shar...this is one of your most revealing, beautiful sharings. i'm honored to have read it - and very appreciative you're writing more of late. perhaps someday you'll do your memoirs?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191279039961200439.post-24387661945003392522010-08-13T10:04:19.410-07:002010-08-13T10:04:19.410-07:00I loved you in that movie :) You met my friend Joe...I loved you in that movie :) You met my friend Joe at Chiller he had the blue sweater photo's I printed out for him for you to sign and you signed a B&W one for me :) Have all your movies been a fan ( way before Joe lol) I told him to tell you I loved you as Liz you are the only one who in my opinion to ever play her . I know there are talks about another Liz movie maybe Angelina Jolie or someone else can't remember . But I was not happy to hear it . I think no one could compare to the amazing job you did. Maybe you should get this new role as Liz ;) was my 1st thought but after reading your blog I can see how hard it was for you.But I think Liz will only remember you playing her , you were the 1st.I do think things that happen and affect our lives if you are in the Arts not even knowing it things seep through stressfully so. Even doing my art ( paintings etc..) sometimes I need to stop , because they are me in one form or another. Again I think your following is alot more than you think alot of people admire your acting hey I love Scent Of Murder LOVE it!! Deadly Isolation have that on dvd as well. I won't watch the new Liz movie LOL! It's already been done :) Hope this letter isn't overboard. I never write to anyone except on my FB account LOL!!!AlyssaAAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04977486170451546299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191279039961200439.post-64057967383466197442010-08-12T22:08:19.395-07:002010-08-12T22:08:19.395-07:00Well, drunk or not, Angus was magnificent as Burto...Well, drunk or not, Angus was magnificent as Burton.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191279039961200439.post-51865106087007444582010-08-12T18:04:26.369-07:002010-08-12T18:04:26.369-07:00S.F.,
Really interesting and insightful. It's ...S.F.,<br />Really interesting and insightful. It's such a strange coincidence because I just checked out a book of photographs by Helmut Newton from my library and Elizabeth is on the cover, fully clothed in a swimming pool (with her diamonds, of course) and holding a parrot. <br />Another weird coincidence is that I was just thinking of those two particular actors; the ones that played Burton and Fisher. Strangely, they acted together before in a British film. I kinda have a crush on the one who played Fisher...I remember he sang and danced with other young up and coming actors on the Oscars many years ago. It is interesting how we can be subconsciously drawn to people who remind of us of others. I took me a while to realize how closely Roy London resembles my father, and that's why a strong connection is there for me.<br />I have to change the subject (forgive me), I just watched some footage on youtube from the Twin Peaks Festival Q and A. LOVED seeing you there and Jennifer Lynch, as well. So cool hearing about the show and Boxing Helena stories. The two of you are so cool and funny together. Wonderful!!<br />Thank you, as always.CCWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17006987475000869683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191279039961200439.post-37433674269981668862010-08-12T17:50:49.362-07:002010-08-12T17:50:49.362-07:00Thank you, thank you so much for sharing that.

Nope. you BECAME Elizabeth and i think one of the reasons Elizabeth herself probably loved your portrait was due to the wonderful mixture of strength and vulnerability. you played the woman, no question. Angelina Jolie once said that playing GIA almost killed her because it brought up so many personal demons and pain from her childhood. I think she similarly BECAME Gia.<br /> It's never worth risking your health or well being for but you really did knock it out of the park. i have it on vhs from when it originally aired and i still watch it anytime life hands me lemons. i feel like if Elizabeth could overcome all she did then so can I.

My mother adored her, I grew up watching her movies..and reading books about her. You in-bodied her beautifully.Was she your favorite role? My youngest daughter's middle name is "Taylor"...(It would have been too obvious to name her "Sherilyn", plus my 1st name is Marilyne).. but,that was my little "nod" to you.. <br />With Love, <br />SuzSuzBoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06312469228872025062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191279039961200439.post-43539420807926541872010-08-12T10:52:46.449-07:002010-08-12T10:52:46.449-07:00Now THAT was a fuckin amazing story!!!!!Now THAT was a fuckin amazing story!!!!!The Uncoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00492773451729484417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3191279039961200439.post-4914873208654279262010-08-12T10:45:04.073-07:002010-08-12T10:45:04.073-07:00Sher, Thank you for sharing this.
