What did Liz and Matthew McConaughey have in common?
One of the big stories this week is a revelation about Dame Elizabeth Taylor, courtesy of her good friend, Kathy Ireland. Ireland reveals that at one point, Taylor’s Bel-Air home was a place where people with HIV could get drugs smuggled in from other countries – kinda like a Dallas Buyers Club. Of this, I have no doubt – anyone who knew Elizabeth knew she not only talked the talk, but walked the walk….well, when she could walk. When she couldn’t, she rode the ride. And as someone who had been to her Bel-Air abode, I can tell you that it was a veritable bathhouse – gay men frolicked to and fro. The first time I was there, I think I saw someone wearing the Cleopatra headdress! Ireland says Liz funded the purchases in an unusual way. “She would sell jewelry, there were transfers of money, sometimes there would be a paper bag and there would be money.” Good for you, Lizzie!
