On the way to do the weekly shopping at the grocer’s, I passed Hollywood and Ivar as usual. Only this week it delivered a gut punch. I had not expected to find Elizabeth’s Taylor’s star on the Walk of Fame still so brightly adorned with flowers. Normally, floral displays of this kind are gone within a day or two.

This, however, shows no sign of fading away.

Yet another testament to the magnitude of her stardom.
