Tribute to Elizabeth Taylor

After hearing today's sad news we wanted to share a few select clips of the most glamorous of film stars.

She established herself in her performance of a young girl who dreamed of taking her beloved horse to the Grand National.



The epitome of glamour and wealth, Elizabeth Taylor was regarded as one of the most beautiful women in the world.




She was seen as one of the few remaining links to the golden age of Hollywood and will be remembered as one of the 20th century's biggest movie stars.

Gadgets a go-go!

Researching the 100 greatest gadgets has thrown up some rather wonderful clips showing early imaginings of inventions we have now come to know and love. First up is a 1950 incarnation of the synth, 'this is music with a strictly electronic beat!'

Tribute to Jane Russell

Following the sad news of Jane Russell's death on Monday we're paying tribute to the Hollywood legend by revisiting her 1943 movie debut as curvaceous Rio in 'The Outlaw'.



And her most iconic role opposite Marilyn Monroe in 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'. We loved Russell as Dorothy, the grown-up foil to Monroe's breathless ditzy Lorelei and her number 'Ain't There Anyone Here For Love ' has to be the favourite Russell moment here at Clips Towers.
