“She took great delight in breaking me up, getting me giggling. Another thing about Elizabeth, she’s absolutely delighted when she gets a present. Whether it’s a diamond tiara or cherry chocolates, she’s like a child at Christmas. It’s not overreacting. It’s a genuine, great quality.” -Rock Hudson
“Elizabeth did go bosomy overnight. Of course, she would wear her belts so tight. All the girls then wore very full skirts with lots of petticoats and their waists all cinched up. They all did it- Janie Powell, too. But I remember the day when Elizabeth came into the commissary- and involuntary gasp just went through the room.” -Emily Tordria

”When she came out of the anesthetic after her spinal operation, the first thing she said was, ‘Where’s my diamond ring?’ Todd laughed and told reporters.

Someone who has been stared at all her life need some eyes to glare back.” -Brenda Maddox
“Rock made me laugh, I loved him. We spent, oh God, most of the time chatting and laughing and being silly. Just before he died, one of the last things I think that I remember making him laugh was recalling a night in Texas when it was hailing hail so huge, it was like golf-balls. We were running out, getting conked on the head, running around making chocolate martinis. So you can imagine the state we were in.” -Elizabeth Taylor
