Elizabeth Taylor died early Wednesday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and some cable networks responded by clearing time on their slates to bring you tributes to the Oscar-winning actress.
That includes two movie marathons -- one featuring 11 of her films, the other, featuring just the one some people call her star-making vehivle while others call it her campiest: “Cleopatra” over, and over, and over again.
