Elizabeth Taylor once said
This often left her open to criticism from those who weren’t. Did things always work out for Ms. Taylor? Did her passions always lead to satchels of gold and roses? Not so much. Yet, when all was said and done could she look back and say her cards were all laid out on the table? Indeed she could. There was no worry about looking like a fool in the end. No question of things left undone or not said.

Ruled by passions, guns blazin, no apologies for who she was – I think we could all take a lesson from Ms. Taylor every now and again. As for the critics, eh, they’ll never understand, so just let ‘em be.

Today’s Mah-velous Magnolia goes out to legendary icon Ingrid Bergman.
The embodiment of on-screen sophistication, Ingrid was indeed a woman with unabashed feminine wiles, irreplaceable talent and incredible bravery shown during her eight year battle with breast cancer.
“Time is shortening. But every day that I challenge this cancer and survive is a victory for me.”
Well known for her role as Ilsa in Casablanca, Ingrid appeared in many well known titles such as Intermezzo: A Love Story, For Whom the Bell Tolls, Gaslight, Murder on the Orient Express (to name a few), earning her a great deal of acclaim in the world of film.
“I’ve gone from saint to whore and back to saint again, all in one lifetime.”
The American Film Institute ranks her as the fourth greatest female star of American cinema and if you’ve ever seen one of her films, you will certainly agree. It was stated about Ingrid that she always strove to be a “true woman” and that is one of the things which resonates deeply with her fans across the globe.
She continued her acting career, determined not to give in while battling breast cancer, and left a legacy which can never be doubled in the likes of tinsel town present or future.
