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).

Plot: In the midst of 80's power suits and Reaganomics, a young Byron Krueger rose to fame as the poster child for Neon Pops. He was the cutest kid to sell the sweetest (albeit potentially toxic) treats to throngs of future yuppies. Of course fame and fortune didn't favor young Byron for very long and he began a slow downward spiral. As a washed up child star, Byron had very few options. Hungry television viewers could care less about his weight gain, growth of body hair, and vulgar habits, and he almost felt like dying. Except, he WAS a star. And maybe, just maybe, he could BE a star again. Many years after the Neon Pops radioactive scare that sent anything associated with it into hiding, Byron Krueger re-emerged into public view. He fumbled his way into a historic old theater company in the art district of Milwaukee. He'd heard rumors that some local guy in the 80's named Jeff played Sweeny Todd and the show cancelled after one night. Logically in Byron's mind, he could only improve that situation. When he arrived at the theater company, hoping to impress everyone with his chops, he was amazed to find something slightly less than professional. Becoming part of the JD Memorial Theater Company introduced a world filled with mental instability, conspiracy, anarchy, and the tragic auto-erotic asphyxiation of a beloved director, father and friend.

Genres: Drama,So you saw that fire in the sky
Well I think that's so cool
And I know that nothin' will change you
You are nobody's fool
(chorus) Cynthia
Won't you take me to
Pyramid Lake with you
We could watch the space ships
Maybe they'd take us on a trip
Into that never ending sky
Into the wide and endless night
And you stood in their beam of light
And the show'd you the bones on the moon
Well I hope I get to go there
With you real soon
(chorus)
We could get there
Before the sunsets
And we'd put up your tent
Watch the stars
Dance all night
And watch that sun come up
