Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Taylor
Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in London, England, on February 27, 1932 where she lived until the age of seven. Her family left for the US as soon as the clouds of war began approaching in Europe in 1939.
“Liz” rose to fame as a child star and became known for her acting talent, beauty and striking deep blue and violet eyes that changed its colour depending on what she was wearing*.
Her first foray into the screen was in “There's One Born Every Minute” released in 1942, when she was ten years old.
As a two-time winner of the Academy Award for Best Actress, she is considered one of the greatest screen actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age.
Dame Elizabeth Taylor, one of the 20th Century's biggest movie stars, passed away on March 23rd in Los Angeles at the age of 79.

Nadine Gordimer
Nadine Gordimer was born into a well-off family in Springs, Transvaal, an East Rand mining town outside Johannesburg in 1923.
From her early childhood Gordimer witnessed how the white minority increasingly weakened the rights of the black majority. Gordimer was educated in a convent school and began writing at the young age of nine. Her first short story was published at the age of fifteen. .
A fine descriptive writer, thoughtful and sensitive, Gordimer is noted for the vivid precision of her writing about the complicated personal and social relationships in her environment related to the apartheid laws*.
Finally, in 1991 she was awarded Nobel Prize* for Literature. She was the first South African to win the award and the first woman to win in 25 years, not to mention the fact that her books and short stories have been published in forty languages.
Famous Quotes by Nadine Gordimer :
‘Learning to write sent me falling, falling through the surface of the South African way of life,’ Gordimer has said.
´ I shall never write an autobiography, I'm much too jealous of my privacy for that’
