HOLLYWOOD.....The magical land where anything and everything happens. I lived there for a dozen years (1979-1990) and anything and everything always seemed to be always happening to me. Well, that is another story altogether. Dame Elizabeth lived, primarily, in Los Angeles until she started to travel the globe with Richard Burton in 1962. And in 1982, she made Los Angeles here permanent home once more and has lived there ever since. To those who are not familiar with the land, it may seem commercial and a bit bizarre at first glance. I was living there in my 20's and had a wonderful time. Sometimes I daydream about living there again. What if?? Again, oh well. Elizabeth pulled the film industry together in the late 1980's when AIDS was literally ending the lives of so many industry employees'. The death of Rock Hudson showed Hollywood that the deadly disease could affect one of its own. Sadly, it didn't stop there. But Elizabeth relentlessly pulled them all together into forming one of the strongest bonds we have in this nation today. The love that pours out of Los Angeles isn't felt by everyone....but it is there just the same. They care. They cry. They mend lives. People helping people generously. Please donate if you can.
