The actor received a Special Award elizabeth taylor, for his commitment to ending AIDS, in West Hollywood. It all started when Colin Farrell She was at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in 2009 for the birth of her son, Henry, when she ran into Elizabeth Taylor’s manager, who was visiting the legendary star after she underwent a heart procedure. Days later, she sent him flowers to wish him well in her recovery. Thus she began a close but brief friendship that featured many late-night phone calls and continued until Taylor passed away two years later in March 2011.
“I loved Elizabeth Taylor. I was lucky enough to be her friend for the last few years of her life. It was very clear to me from our conversations that she loved ITUC, and anything that had a crime scene or Mark Harmon in it.” “But, it was abundantly clear that her life’s work was not the films we have all, over the years, fallen in love with, as we have seen her bare her soul, her mind and her heart on celluloid” Colin Firth clarified. “The life’s work of hers that gave his journey real meaning, lasting, significant and profound meaning, is the work he did when the AIDS epidemic came like a thief in the night and stole so many lives.”
Farrell, who had just won the best actor award at the Venice International Film Festival for his work in The Banshees of Inisherin, of Martin McDonagh, recognized Elizabeth Taylor’s “courage” and “humanity” in facing this medical crisis, and caring for people who had difficulty receiving treatment, due to their socioeconomic status.
“Elizabeth Taylor was not only someone who was proselytizing, but she was actually a deeply human person,” explained Colin Farrell. “At a time when no one was going near people with AIDS, she would sneak into their rooms. She not only reminded us that we had an opportunity to help each other, but also to show who we are: a global community that cares about how well the person to your left and the person to your right are doing.’”
