CATCH A CLASSIC

Summer Under the Stars: Elizabeth Taylor

TCM, beginning at 4 a.m.

Screen legend Elizabeth Taylor’s big-screen heyday from the late 1940s through the ’60s is well represented with the mix of 10 titles airing today as part of Turner Classic Movies’ Summer Under the Stars. The lineup starts out with films Taylor made as a child/teen star: Courage of Lassie (1946), Cynthia (pictured) (1947) and Little Women (1949), followed by some of her earlier “adult” roles, in the classic comedy Father of the Bride (1950) and the historical drama Beau Brummell (1954). The second half of the day features Taylor favorites from the late ’50s through mid ’60s: Cleopatra (1963), the epic historical drama that brought Taylor together with the man she famously married and divorced twice, Richard Burton; Giant (1956), another epic drama; Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), another onscreen pairing with Burton, and with a performance from Taylor that earned her the second of her two Best Actress Oscars; Butterfield 8 (1960), the drama that won the star the first of those Oscars; and The Sandpiper (1965), another drama costarring Burton.
