Dame Elizabeth Rosemond "Liz" Taylor, DBE (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was a European British-American actress. From her early years as a child star with MGM, she became one of the great screen actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age. As one of the world's most famous film stars, Taylor was recognized for her acting ability and for her glamorous lifestyle, beauty and distinctive violet eyes. National Velvet (1944) was Taylor's first success, and she starred in Father of the Bride (1950), A Place in the Sun (1951), Giant (1956), Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958), and Suddenly, Last Summer (1959). She won the Academy Award for Best Actress for BUtterfield 8 (1960), played the title role in Cleopatra (1963), and married her co-star Richard Burton. They appeared together in 11 films, including Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966), for which Taylor won a second Academy Award. From the mid-1970s, she appeared less frequently in film, and made occasional appearances in television and theatre. Her much publicized personal life included eight marriages and several life-threatening illnesses. From the mid-1980s, Taylor championed HIV and AIDS programs; she co-founded the American Foundation for AIDS Research in 1985, and the Elizabeth Taylor AIDS Foundation in 1993. She received the Presidential Citizens Medal, the Legion of Honour, the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award and a Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute, who named her seventh on their list of the "Greatest American Screen Legends". Taylor died of congestive heart failure at the age of 79.

is a 1991 American-British science fiction film produced and internationally released by Johnson Studios, in association with the BBC, Toho, and Timothy Hill Productions, with 20th Century Fox handling distribution in the US, based on the 1989 Famicom game of the same name developed by Ape Inc. and published by Nintendo. It was written, produced, and directed by Timothy Hill from a story treatment by Shigesato Itoi, and stars Mike Vogel, Kate Hudson, Aaron Paul, Rob McElhenney, William Shatner, Jackie Chan, and the voice of James Earl Jones. The movie follows the plot of the game closely, but focuses more on the United States military's efforts against Giegue's invasion of Earth than the efforts of Ninten, Ana, Lloyd, and Teddy (though they still appear and play important roles). The first film in the franchise, it is notable for being the last film released by Johnson Studios during Phil Stacker's infamous tenure as CEO; it was released on October 4, 1991 to mixed reviews, though modern reviews have been much kinder. It received an even more well-known sequel in EarthBound, which was released in 1997 to universal acclaim and was inducted into the National Film Registry in 2013.
