Elizabeth Taylor Sends Love Letters

Many of today's more ubiquitous celebrities - the kind who would attend the opening of a envelope - could stand to take a lesson or two from Elizabeth Taylor.

The screen goddess limits her public appearances, thereby assuring that when she does hit the red carpet, it's major news.

And since she often leverages this press exposure for charitable causes, it's a win-win situation.

Both her stature and her privacy will allow her to demand big bucks for a one-night-only stage performance of Love Letters, opposite James Earl Jones, in Los Angeles, with all proceeds going to AIDS organizations.

The actress' appearance is just another milestone in a now nearly-three-decade commitment to the cause of HIV and AIDS.

Los Angeles audiences with charitable cash to spare for the benefit can catch this rare theatrical appearance in December.
