Elizabeth Taylor chases Roddy McDowall on the beach.

Based on this event, Taylor ended up playing one of the gorillas(7 hours of makeup) chasing Charlton Heston's character through the cornfields in 1968's Planet of the Apes. Heston's character "Taylor" was a nod to Elizabeth Taylor. Roddy MacDowell was originally offered Heston's role but insisted instead on playing a chimp who was sympathetic to humans so as not to relive the trauma he earlier experienced being tracked down Elizabeth Taylor.
