Elizabeth Taylor and 'the ring'

[Cheapjack]

Does anyone know if it was buried with her?

You know, the one that Richard Burton bid so many hundred thousand for, a good portion of his wealth, in the 60's?

What happened to it? Should it be resold?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Why, do you want to buy it?

 

[Cheapjack]

From what I've read on the net, the big one was sold to fund a hospital in Africa.

Don't know about the others.

 

[Lookingglassman]

I bought it and plan to sell it so I can buy Spock's ears when they go up for auction.

 

[JarodRussell]

All lies. I have it, and I'm going to throw it into the fires of Mount Doom where it was forged.

 

[scotpens]

I heard it’s going up on eBay along with William Shatner’s kidney stones and a hash-brown patty that miraculously resembles Jesus.

 

[Captain_Nick]

So was she buried with it or not? Will I need my shovel?

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Damn waste if she was.

 

[Sector 7]

I doubt it was buried with her. Unless specifically requested, all jewelry is removed prior to burial in the United States. It would be part of her estate.

 

[HoneyBLilly]

She auctioned it off for AIDS research. Didn't she?


If she did it's probably been cut up into tiny pieces and being sold all over the world.

I really have my doubts that she would be buried with it. When her third husband, Mike Todd, was buried, there were rumors that he was buried with a ten-karat diamond ring that Liz gave him. Grave robbers dug him up to try to steal the ring, except it wasn't in there. His family had to have him re-buried and have the headstone repaired. I don't think Liz would want her children to go through that again.

Why does one even know stuff like this?

Reading trash magazines in the dentist's waiting room?

 

[Asbo Zaprudder]

We wants it, we needs it. Must have the precious. They stole it from us.

 

[Cheapjack]

I intend to go one better, actually.

 

[TEACAKE'S PLEATHER DOME]

Do tell.

 

[Cheapjack]

I'm going to buy the Taj Mahal.

Actually, it was a story in the Chicago Tribune the day after Liz died.
