Elizabeth Taylor ENElizabeth Taylor was a diva when that word still had meaning, before it was applied to every female celebrity with slightest bit of attitude and style.

In a time when studios controlled the news that was fed to the media about their…

Elvis Presley ENElvis Presley would have been the first to laugh at the mad, godlike status he attained after death, but he would have surely identified with the human, gospel-haunted need such adoration rises out of.
