Celebrity Interviews
Elizabeth Taylor: Mastering Scandal and Shaping Modern Fame

Elizabeth Taylor reshaped celebrity culture by making the public more than just observers of stars' lives—they became consumers. After a scandal that reportedly eclipsed NASA's first Earth orbit, Taylor, at 32, shared her story with Life magazine’s Richard Meryman. The 40 hours of audio from these interviews are featured in HBO Max’s “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes,” which reveals Taylor’s personality and struggles in a misogynistic Hollywood.

The documentary portrays Taylor as a pioneering figure in modern fame, long before it was fashionable, with her influence acknowledged by figures like Katy Perry and Kim Kardashian. Taylor herself reflected on her dual identity in the tapes, distinguishing between her public persona and her private self. “The famous one really has no depth or meaning to me,” she said. “It is a commodity that makes money.”

TV Reruns: The Secret to the Perfect In-Flight Experience

Feeling overwhelmed by in-flight entertainment options? Skip the latest movies and opt for TV reruns. Shows like Seinfeld, Frasier, and The Office offer a comforting dose of nostalgia and familiarity. Remember the giant wooden TV console from your childhood? Its comforting glow is reminiscent of the ease TV reruns bring today. While modern flights offer a plethora of movie choices, reruns are a relaxing alternative.

They provide predictability and warmth, making them perfect for travel. So, next time you're airborne, embrace the classics. Sometimes, familiarity is the best in-flight entertainment.
