The FILM SOCIETY OF LINCOLN CENTER announces
ELIZABETH: THE GOLDEN AGE
May 20-22

Retrospective of Elizabeth Taylor’s films will include exhibit of classic images from the film legend’s iconic life.

The Film Society of Lincoln Center announced the details today for the upcoming film series, Elizabeth: The Golden Age which will screen at the Walter Reade Theater May 20-22. The series will mark the first retrospective of Taylor’s work in New York following her recent passing. As part of the retrospective, FSLC has teamed with The Kobal Collection and Big Eye Gallery.com to display a photo exhibit of some of the most well-known and celebrated images of the screen icon. The exhibit will be on display from May 20 – June 9. 

Highlights from Elizabeth: The Golden Age include; a rare screening of JULIA MISBEHAVES (1948), the raucous romantic comedy directed by Jack Conway, features the 16-year-old Taylor’s first on-screen kiss (with Peter Lawford); a deluxe screening of CLEOPATRA (1963) from a 70 mm print; and a 60th Anniversary screening of A PLACE IN THE SUN (1951). 

Associate Director of Programming Scott Foundas said, “This brief but comprehensive overview of Elizabeth Taylor, spanning the peak years of her stardom and including four of her five Oscar-nominated performances, should delight Liz fans and newcomers alike. From the supremely confident 12-year-old of NATIONAL VELVET to the icon of bigger than life epics like GIANT and CLEOPATRA, we see Taylor evolve from the last great star of classic Hollywood into the first great celebrity of the modern media era, as captivating to the public off screen as on.”

Tickets will go on sale Thursday, May 5 both at the box office and on-line. Discounts are available for Film Society members.

Screenings will be held at the Film Society of Lincoln Center's Walter Reade Theater, located at 165 West 65th Street, between Amsterdam Avenue and Broadway.
