On the surface, Taylor was all sex and devil-may-care
Everything in her was struggling toward respectability
She never gave up trying
The film concerns her fashionable life which is part model, part call-girland all man-trap
Her performance is one of her best and was nominated for her third Academy Award
Her remarkable scene is her confession to Eddie Fisher about how she got started in the life: she was seduced by a house guest when she was thirteen, and she liked it! She has always 'liked' it! Emotionally, she dominates the screen at this moment and her serious attitude simply fills it up
Filmed in and around New York, "Butterfield 8" is an intimate portrait of a tormented woman daringly beautiful and sexy
