New York:
Broadway will honour Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor by dimming its lights today.
Theatre marquees will go dark at 8 pm today for one minute in memory of the actress, who succumbed to congestive heart failure at age 79 Wednesday.
The Cleopatra star made her first Broadway appearance in the 1981 revival of Lillian Hellman's The Little Foxes, for which she was nominated for a best actress Tony, theHollywod Reporter said.
Two years later, she returned to the stage as producer and star of Noel Coward's Private Lives opposite ex husband Richard Burton. That same year, she produced The Corn isGreen.
Taylor, who was laid to rest yesterday afternoon, is best known for bringing Tennessee Williams' Cat on a Hot Tin Roof to the big screen with Paul Newman.
