On March 1, 2011, the mark Women's History Month, Elizabeth Taylor was
not on the minds of the masses. But just weeks into the month of
celebrating the lives of extraordinary women, the world dutifully
followed the life of the legendary icon. On March 24th, Elizabeth Taylor
was laid to rest, just 1 day after her passing. The ever so glamorous
actress, philanthropist and successful businesswoman died on March 23rd
from congestive heart failure. Her exit was just as captivating as her
entrance: she arrived 15 minutes fashionably late to her final
celebration, by design. As we near the end of Women's
History Month, let us also remember that heart disease is the No. Killer
of women. Know your risks and remember that heart disease affects the
most glamorous of us all. For more information, please visit the
American Heart Association website and/or www.redheartglamour.org.
