I respect Big Jim's Criteria for Judgement. I'll respectfully submit that Marilyn Monroe at-first was Just Another Blond Actress, BUT she went for some SERIOUS Acting Classes AFTER she got "Launched"...& ended up a Serious-Enough Actress to Justify ALL The Hoopla she created.

I'm quite sure Taylor has both the Time & Talent to further-study her craft & end UP there with "The Greats"..IF she so-chooses. (Or..she can just walk-away & live Quite Happily-Ever-After on what She's Already-Earned, I'd betcha!)

She might be far-happier if she DOESN'T end up with the Greats...the Media has a way of creating Martyrs, long-term..if ya use Marilyn as the Case Study.

Best Wishes, Whatever She Hopes-For,
Stan
