Turner Classic Movies (TCM) in the U.S. has planned a special tribute for Elizabeth Taylor who just died on March 23. The network will air 24-hour movie memorial movie marathon which is set to begin on Sunday, April 10 at 6 A.M. with her 1943 movie "Lassie Come Home".

"Butterfield 8" (1960) and "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" (1966), which landed Oscar kudos for Taylor, will also be aired at 8 P.M. and 10 P.M. respectively. The special tribute will also feature the 79-year-old actress in spy drama "Conspirator" (1949) which marked her first adult role.

Other films included in the line-up are "Lassie Come Home" (1943), "National Velvet" (1944), "Father of the Bride" (1950), "Father's Little Dividend" (1951), historical epic "Ivanhoe" (1952), "Giant" (1956), "Raintree County" (1957), and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" (1958).

Here’s hoping that TCN on the Foxtel Channels in Australia follows suit.
