August Happiness Challenge -- Day 3

My 2024 Happiness Icon
Today's happiness: Elizabeth Taylor

It was bound to happen: My happiness icon is a direct representation of today's happiness. I love classic film, and LaLiz is one of my all-time favorite classic film goddesses.

First I watched Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes, the new documentary about her life built around taped interviews. So it's as though she's telling us her life story. In addition to hearing her story in her own voice, there are home movies of her in the pool, no makeup. The woman was ridiculously beautiful.

Next up was Jane Eyre, the classic for this week's movie meet-up. She was just 11 when she played doomed little Helen. Naturally talented and an underrated actress, even then.

I'd been kinda blue today. So I'm grateful to the glamorous Liz for getting me out of my own head for a while.

Happy August Happiness Challenge!
 
Each day in August you are to post about something that makes *you* happy. Pretty simple. And, it doesn't even have to be every day if you don't want it to be. It's a great way to remind ourselves that there are positive things going on in our lives, our communities, and the world.

    Sometimes it's just nice to escape for a while.

    I was fascinated by LaLiz when I was a kid. She was so darn glamorous. And in the 80s when she tackled AIDS, she became my icon.
