She looks amazing for 51. She has two big houses, a boy at a mega posh school and is hanging out with billionaires. Oh, and she has a successful business and her career has had a renaissance with The Royals.

All this from a girl who went to a bog standard comp, had a few strategic shags and is an expert in the art of self promotion. And who can't act.

I want to be like her. Is that so very bad?

What's her successful business Confused? I don't know what she does at all. I thought she was an actress?

IlovesLiz · 19/06/2016 21:36

Beach ware.

No. If I was, I'd say I could act.

Doesn't she have a beef jerky/meat product business?

Tbh I can't say I love her because of that though, plus she eats with baby cutlery to keep portion size down Confused

I was once at a party she and Shane Warne were at (for work, not name dropping) and she looked fucking AMAZING though.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 19/06/2016 21:39

...Have you watched The Royals? It's garbage, utter shite. I love it cause it's unbelievable trash tv but definitely not something to be proud of as an actor. It was absolutely panned.

liz70 · 19/06/2016 21:41

I think she has some sort of organic farming thing going on, and sells produce from that.

IlovesLiz · 19/06/2016 21:46

The Royals is my guilty pleasure. Who cares whether the critics like it? It's trash entertainment and brilliant. No, i'm not her mum! I'm not Hugh Grant either.

You are a bit odd though.

TheDuchessOfArbroathsHat · 19/06/2016 21:52

I'm sure I've read on here - on one of those 'not nice slebs' threads - that she actually isn't very nice. Does my memory serve me right?

Hassled · 19/06/2016 21:54

All I really know about Liz Hurley is that she is/was overly fond of white jeans in a Triangle (shite TV series of yesteryear) sort of way, and to the point that if I saw white jeans, I thought Liz Hurley.

tametempo · 19/06/2016 21:56

If you really loved you would call her Elizabeth Apparently she hates 'Liz' Grin

MitzyLeFrouf · 19/06/2016 21:58

How can you have failed to mention her main skill!

Wearing a slashed to the thigh Versace gown of course.

And you love her ?Grin,

MitzyLeFrouf · 19/06/2016 22:03

I love that she strives to be a posh English lady of the landed gentry variety and at the same time goes to a society wedding demurely showing her leopard print gusset to all and sundry.

So you love the message essentially that if you look good and shag the right people and promote yourself, you can earn a few bob you'll do alright. High class prostitution YAAY...HmmConfused

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 19/06/2016 22:05

I have to say the ads she did yonks ago for Estée Lauder prompted a very young and gullible me to buy all their perfumes. Especially the Dazzling Silver one, which became a life long love of mine (well, until it was discontinued so not really that life long).

I used to think she was very pretty. She was.

twittwooery · 19/06/2016 22:06

I still think she's pretty

TheSpottedZebra · 19/06/2016 22:06

I sort of interacted with her through work years ago and I liked her. She was v v v v v professional. She'd show up being briefed and primed perfectly, and always stayed on-message. And she could schmooze a bird out of a tree.

cupidsgame · 19/06/2016 22:07

I really don't like her , sorry.

BillSykesDog · 19/06/2016 22:07

She also gave birth to John Barrowman. Apparently.

LastGirlOnTheLeft · 19/06/2016 22:14

Oh yes sorry!!! I didn't mean to imply she isn't pretty - she is certainly gorgeous!! Just that I bought all the stuff she advertised years ago because I thought she was so pretty!!! She was and is very beautiful!!! Smile

GuiltyPleasure · 19/06/2016 22:15

OP she likes to be called Elizabeth not Liz. But yeah she's made a career on zero talent & somehow become an icon of middle age beauty. Fair play to her. Shows how far a well judged/well timed relationship (shag) can take you
