Dame Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor, DBE (February 27, 1932 – March 23, 2011) was a British-American actress, businesswoman and humanitarian. She began as a child actress in the early 1940s, and was one of the most popular stars of classical Hollywood cinema in the 1950s. She continued her career successfully into the 1960s, and remained a well-known public figure for the rest of her life. The American Film Institute named her the seventh greatest female screen legend in 1999.
Born in London to American parents, Taylor and her family moved from England to Los Angeles in 1939. She was noted for her beauty already as a child, and was given a film contract by Universal Pictures in 1941. Her screen debut was in a minor role in There's One Born Every Minute (1942), but Universal terminated her contract after a year. Taylor was then signed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and had her breakthrough role in National Velvet (1944), becoming one of the studio's most popular teenage stars. She made the transition to adult roles in the early 1950s, when she starred in the comedy Father of the Bride (1950) and received critical acclaim for her performance in the tragic drama A Place in the Sun (1951).
Elizabeth Taylor (née Coles; 3 July 1912 – 19 November 1975) was a British novelist and short story writer. Kingsley Amis described her as "one of the best English novelists born in this century," Antonia Fraser called her "one of the most underrated writers of the 20th century," and Hilary Mantel said she was "deft, accomplished and somewhat underrated."
Born in Reading, Berkshire, the daughter of Oliver Coles, an insurance inspector, and his wife, Elsie May Fewtrell, Elizabeth was educated at The Abbey School, Reading and then worked as a governess, tutor, and librarian. She married John Taylor, owner of a confectionery company, in 1936. They lived in Penn, Buckinghamshire for almost all their married life. She was briefly a member of the British Communist Party, then a lifelong Labour Party supporter.
Taylor's first novel, At Mrs. Lippincote's, was published in 1945 and was followed by eleven more. Her short stories were published in magazines and collected in four volumes. She also wrote a children's book. The British critic Philip Hensher called The Soul of Kindness a novel "so expert that it seems effortless. As it progresses, it seems as if the cast are so fully rounded that all the novelist had to do was place them, successively, in one setting after another and observe how they reacted to each other.... The plot... never feels as if it were organised in advance; it feels as if it arises from her characters' mutual responses."
Elizabeth Taylor (1932–2011) was an Anglo-American actress.

John H. Saxon Sr. (10 December 1923 – 17 October 1996) was an officer in the U.S. Air Force and an educator. He was born in Georgia and graduated from high school in Athens, Georgia. He earned a bachelor's degree in Engineering from the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1949 and his master's degree in electrical engineering in 1961. Saxon flew 55 missions in a B-26 Night Intruder during the Korean War. After the war, he wrote or co-wrote a series of nine mathematics textbooks for kindergarten through high school which use an incremental teaching method often called "Saxon math". His books have gained popularity among certain traditionally-oriented groups of homeschoolers (some Left-wing homeschoolers as well) and private schools, but are also used in a number of public schools who favor a "back to basics" approach to mathematics. The Christian-Democracy-oriented Midwest Regionalist/catch-all political group Citizens for the Constructive Review of Public Policy specifically mentions Saxon Math and textbooks in their original 1990 statement of principles. As noted below, William F Buckley also commented on this in a 1981 issue of National Review.
John Saxon (born Carmine Orrico; August 5, 1935) is an American actor who has worked on more than 200 projects during a span of sixty years. Saxon is known for his work in westerns and horror films, as well as for his role as Roper in the 1973 film Enter the Dragon, in which he starred with Bruce Lee and Jim Kelly.
Saxon, an Italian American, was born Carmine Orrico in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Anna (née Protettore) and Antonio Orrico, a dock worker. He attended New Utrecht High School, graduating in 1953. He then studied acting with famous acting coach Stella Adler and broke into films in the mid-1950s, playing teenage roles. According to Robert Hofler's 2005 biography, The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson: The Pretty Boys and Dirty Deals of Henry Willson, agent Willson saw Saxon's picture on the cover of a detective magazine and immediately contacted the boy's family in Brooklyn. With parents' permission, he signed the 17-year-old Orrico, got him meetings in Hollywood and renamed him John Saxon.
Elizabeth Taylor (January 8, 1856 - March, 1932) was an American artist, journalist, botanist and traveller. Her travel essays from Alaska, Canada, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Norway were published in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, Atlantic Monthly, Forest and Stream and others. Some of her essays are published in The Far Islands and Other Cold Places (ISBN 1-880654-11-3).
During World War I she was marooned at Eiði in the Faroe Islands, where she was a probable influence on Faroese painting pioneer Niels Kruse. She died at her cottage Wake Robin in Vermont, in 1932.

As we stand before the judge, it's over now
Can't even get my name and go on somehow
It’s my time to sign on the dotted line
The spark came in my head before the ink dried
I'm getting up my (Damn)
Knowing I don't give a damn for this single life
Eleven months with you, I'm tripping cause it's through
I'm standing here looking at you
Bridge:
There ain’t no more, ghetto love
No more, breaking up
No more, making up
No more, waking you up
No more, things you hate
No more, holidays
No more, need to celebrate
No more, goodnight baby
Chorus:
You wanted half, just take it all
Cause it doesn't even matter anymore
We didn't last, cause now you're gone
Just take everything, everything, everything
You wanted half, you can have it all
What the hell am I gon' do with just half of you
Girl you can keep, even both rings
Just take, everything, everything, everything
I don't want the house, I'm moving out
Can't stand staying here without you around
All of the cars, I will sell them but just one, I will mail them
And as for the kids, I get weekends
Baby I ain't even mad, I wish you well
And I'll be wrong to tell you to go to hell
Cause you're still the one I love, we're just giving up
Guess it's best for us, can't help how it hurts
Bridge:
There ain't no more honey combs
No more, Oprah's on
No more, Looney Tunes
No more, Southpark with you
No more, the phone's for me
No more, did the doorbell ring
No more, can you come get me
No more, there's no more baby
Chorus:
You wanted half, just take it all
Cause it doesn't even matter anymore
We didn't last, cause now you're gone
Just take everything, everything, everything
You wanted half, you can have it all
What the hell am I gon' do with just half of you
Girl you can keep, even both rings
Just take, everything, everything, everything
And if this is divorce, I don't want a war
I don't want to fight with you no more
Take everything, you can have everything
Material things, your last
Chorus: (x4)
You wanted half, just take it all
Cause it doesn't even matter anymore
We didn't last, cause now you're gone
Just take everything, everything, everything
You wanted half, you can have it all
What the hell am I gon' do with just half of you
Girl you can keep, even both rings
Just take, everything, everything, everything
