from eternity

Scarfaces, HaverfordWho, Endurrance, Uprisings | Quand je réfléchis qu'un homme seul, réduit à ses simples ressources physiques et morales, a suffi pour faire surgir du désert ce pays de Canaan, je trouve que, malgré tout, la condition humaine est admirable. Mais, quand je fais le compte de tout ce qu'il a fallu de constance dans la grandeur d'âme et d'acharnement dans la générosité pour obtenir ce résultat, je suis pris d'un immense respect pour ce vieux paysan sans culture qui a su mener à bien cette oeuvre digne de Dieu. - L'homme qui plantait des arbres, Jean Giono | (  )

life: Happy 80th, Liz. From her teen years, as a young woman, and at the height of her career — LIFE photographers were there. In celebration of what would have been her 80th birthday, we present a selection of the very best photographs of the Hollywood icon. Some that appeared in LIFE magazine, and many more that were never published — including shots from the sets of Giant and Cleopatra; from studio backlots (with her dear friend and soul mate, Montgomery Clift); and from her tumultuous romance with two-time husband, Richard Burton. Pictured: Elizabeth Taylor with West Point in the background, 1948. (see more photos here)
