She made cameo appearances in films like 'The Flintstones' (1994) and 'These Old Broads' (2001), showcasing her willingness to embrace her celebrity status and have fun with her image.

In her final years, Elizabeth Taylor focused on her philanthropic work with amfAR and ETAF. She made occasional public appearances to support these causes, even as her health declined. Her last major public appearance was at a fundraising gala for ETAF in 2010.
