RIP Franco Zeffirelli
quote:
Italian film director Franco Zeffirelli has died aged 96, Italian media report.

The Florence native directed stars including Elizabeth Taylor in the 1967 film Taming of the Shrew and Dame Judi Dench on stage in Romeo and Juliet.

Italian media said Zeffirelli died after a long illness which had grown worse in recent months.

The two-time Oscar nominee also served in the Italian senate for two terms as a member of Silvio Berlusconi's Forza Italia party.

He is perhaps best known to many as the director of the 1968 adaptation of Romeo and Juliet – starring a then-unknown Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey.

Liked his Romeo and Juliet very much.
Saw it back when I was hetero. Wink
A man behind me at the theatre said "Wow, beautiful" when Romeo's butt was shown.
The man was quite correct. Smiler

RIP.

Franco Zeffirelli's "Romeo and Juliet" and "Taming of the Shrew" are two of my favorite movies.
