Liz Taylor turns 78 today. She has broken her back five times, had both her hips replaced, survived a benign brain tumor operation, skin cancer, and has faced life-threatening bouts with pneumonia twice. Throw in seven marriages and a battle with alcoholism, and you will see why Mess stands in awe of her survival skills. We're also grateful she blew a giant hole in the Reagan administration era AIDS wall of denial by getting her pal Rock Hudson's back. She's been supporting the cause ever since.
And she gave all the following words of wisdom to all of us frugal sots: "You can't afford to waste good liquor, not on YOUR salary! " as Martha in WAVW?
