She was talented, complex, witty, passionate, and very classy lady.

Her work in Virginia Woolf is one the ten best acting performances of all history, in my opinion. Very few can match her ability and screen presence. She can go big and loud, yet enrich her work with a lot of sublety.

Suddenly last summer and cat on a hot tin roof were probably her best works. She was a stunning beauty there too (I had a white dress like hers in the latter, I loved it a lot).
Let's not forget her child works too, like National velvet, and I include Father of the bride or A place in the sun where she was still a teenager.

Really not a fan of either of her Oscar wins, but generally she was a fine actress who had great screen presence. Her 1950s run was sublime.

Some of her early work is iffy, but she became a great actress in the 60's, particularly in Virginia Woolf, which is a great performance and 100% deserved Oscar win.

Very good, but a lot of her later work post Virginia Woolf was very trashy and bad.

Her turns in Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof are among my all-time favorite performances. I really liked her in Suddenly, Last Summer too, perhaps even more than Hepburn.
