Curations from the Human Jungle
[Thanks to the 'Backs and 'Belles who turned out for last night's Watch Party. We had viewers from Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, and Pennsylvania.

Elizabeth Taylor Liz: The Elizabeth Taylor story is more of biopic than a documentary. It nearly defies reality in stringing together the remarkable lengths to which this beautiful, privileged, self-centered woman would go in her unquenchable desire to be loved.
