Elizabeth Taylor died yesterday at the age of 79. Here she is in 2000, after receiving the honour of Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire from Britain's Queen Elizabeth II at a ceremony held at London's Buckingham Palace. Her death, unfortunately, hasn't saved her from sexism; obituaries are nearly as much about certain aspects of her personal life as her professional career.
