“Her films weren’t the point… the point was her peerless violet eyes, her body and her reputation.” – The Independent
“Having stared into her violet eyes as a child star, cinema goers of her own generation felt an almost parental concern in reading about her later travails.” – The Guardian
“…Taylor stunned the world with her girlish beauty as a child actress in National Velvet — who had ever even seen, or even imagined, violet eyes?” – MovieLine
