My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Yes, Elizabeth Taylor's eyes were truly violet. And at the end of this post, I'll tell how I know that.
Both my mother and father adored Elizabeth Taylor; therefore at a very early age I was exposed to every movie she ever made up until that point. Thus, I also grew to adore her.
I mean come on, how could anyone not?
Not only did she take your breath away with her beauty, but she also contained an extraordinary power that emanated from within. Her beauty was a combination of voluptuous sensuality and a child-like innocence.
Yet, I think it was her eyes that were the most striking feature of her beauty.

Here are some photographs I found online that give you a very clear idea of just how special Elizabeth Taylor's eye really were.
And what I find incredible is that whether she was photographed in black and white or color, her eyes were equally captivating.
Please enjoy...
Now here's the really strange part of this story.
Last week while I was constructing this post, I suddenly got the idea to google elizabeth taylor at a chorus line in new york city in 1976 (which was the year I saw the show). And as I scrolled through the various images, I spotted this one, which was labeled - Actress Elizabeth Taylor photographed near her beloved Audrey Hepburn during a performance of the play “A Chorus Line” at a Broadway theater in New York (USA), on April 09, 1976.
And although I can't be 100% sure that this photograph was taken on the night that I was at the show, I think it's ironic that Elizabeth Taylor was wearing exactly what I saw her wearing that night.
And also...I had NO IDEA that the exquisite actress, Audrey Hepburn, was also there that night
Holy shit and oh my gawd!!!!!!!!!!!

Back in 1975 when I was pursuing my acting career and living in New York City, I was so fortunate to attend a performance of one of the most popular and Tony Award-winning Broadway musicals at that time, A Chorus Line, at the Shubert Theatre. It was also one of the rare Broadway shows that I saw with the original cast.
A Chorus Line was a Broadway musical (much like Hamilton) in which it was next to impossible to purchase tickets because it was that popular. However, back in the 1970's, they had something that was called "standing room only", in which the theater would sell a certain amount of tickets that allowed you to stand in the back of the house and watch the show at a discounted price. Now back then, theater tickets for a Broadway show were only $25.00-$30.00 a seat. And standing room tickets were $5.00. Yes, you heard me right....FIVE dollars.
On the night that I saw A Chorus Line the show was delayed for its 8:00 curtain, which is unheard of, because Broadway shows always start exactly on time. So if you're late to arrive at the start of the show, too bad. Broadway holds its curtains for no one.
That is, unless, it's Elizabeth Taylor.
I attended this performance with several other actor friends of mine who were all wondering, "What's up with the delayed curtain?!?!" In fact, you could sense the energy throughout the audience who were starting to get restless and agitated that the show hadn't started on time.
And then guess what happened?
All of a sudden the doors in the rear of the theater opened, and through them walked an entourage of people surrounding a woman in a fur coat and a turban.
Now, it just so happened that I was standing in the rear of the theater at the top of the left-hand side row, which is where the entourage walked past me.
And for a very brief second, I spotted her....Elizabeth Taylor!
*I gasped*
And for another very brief second, she quickly turned and looked in my direction. And although she didn't look directly at me, I could clearly see her eyes.
*I gasped*
Holy shit and oh my gawd, yes, they were in fact, violet!
