It's a shock to see Liz in this movie

XS3-Elizabeth Taylor did not have to work. She worked when she chose to work. You can't seem to comprehend that. She defined the word "Star". You are too green to see that.
As for her career plummeting, that's your opinion based on reading her credits on IMDB.
"She's still highly regarded." She is one of the most beloved stars of all time. I remember when you dissed her every chance you got.

I recall the huge publicity campaign that accompanied the release of this film. There were pictures of Elizabeth and Warren everywhere. Of course at that time all Elizabeth had to do was sneeze and it would be reported.

"The Taming of the Shrew", which followed "Wolfe" was a big hit. After that, she chose odder roles and slowly her box-office eroded. But she'd already been a star since the age of 12 by the time her career "plummeted." She'd been through the 1940's, 50's and 60's. It was just about time for her career to slack off--there was a new audience and times they were a' changing. Living in Europe with Burton also put her out of touch with Hollywood.

She continued to work--approximately a film a year until 1976-- and there was never less than the usual frenzy of publicity around everything she did--and that remained long after the heat of her career had cooled. In fact, that frenzy remained until bad health forced her into a semi-reclusive life and years confined to a wheelchair prior to her death.

She had a great success on Broadway. some of those TV films were fun and high-rated. she made a fortune with her perfumes. And there was all the AIDS work.

Her career didn't die at all. It moved on naturally through its various phases. Nobody stays on top forever. But looking at the publicty, the magazine covers, the paparazzi chasing her, you'd have thought she was still at the peak of her career, as late as 1993. Then, the real health woes began.

All this said, "The Only Game In Town" is a ridiculous movie for her. "X Y and Zee" is so much better!
