Pretty much the greatest ruller England ever had. When she became queen in 1558, she was only twenty-five years old. She was only the third queen to rule England in her own right. Elizabeth (1533-1603) was resourceful, determined and wise. She was intelligent and loved learning. She was glamorous, flirtatious and charismatic. She ruled alone for nearly half a century, lending her name to a glorious epoch in world history. A really great movie is "Elizabeth" where Cate Blanchett made her big break and received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for her performance in the 1998 film . Its sequel, "The Golden Age", is coming out 2007.
Queen Elizabeth I is pretty darn kick ass.

Refers to an iconic person who established a whole era by her/his (ideally her*) presence; implementing transforming policies from a high-power-position; having a very temperamental and focused leadership; in a patriarchal and sexist society in which she/he (ideally she*) was expected to be from other gender; and ended up proving those wrong; in addition to not following the social and established norms of leaving descendants, nor marriage
* (Before any kind of claim from anti-feminists) The term refers to Elizabeth I, a woman, was Queen of England during the XVI century. But, in certain cases, it could of course apply to other genders
- Wow! The company has done so much better since she got involved
- I know! She's total 'Elizabeth I'
Michael Jackson wrote this song exclusively for his dear friend Dame Elizabeth Taylor and performed it in honor of her 65th birthday on 16th February 1997.
A studio version of the song does exist and a snippet starting from the bridge to the end of the song.
Michael appreciated Elizabeth’s friendship dearly.
Elizabeth, I love you
You're every star, that shines in the world to me
Elizabeth, can't you see that it's true?
Elizabeth, I love you
You're more than just a star
