New York, Mar 22: Elizabeth Taylor is giving up show business for good, saying raising money to fight aids is more important to her than acting. Taylor said when she goes to the academy awards tomorrow, in honor of the ceremony's 75th anniversary, it will be her last entertainment appearance. ``At the end of the broadcast, all the past winners are going to walk across the stage. So that will be my swan song on the stage,'' she told ``access Hollywood'' this week.

``I've retired from acting; it doesn't really interest me much anymore. It seems kind of superficial because now my life is aids, not acting.'' Taylor, who won best-actress Oscars for 1966's ``who's afraid of Virginia Woolf?'' and 1960's ``Butterfield 8,'' said she's glad the red carpet arrival has been scrapped this year in deference to the war in Iraq.

``I think it's frivolous. I've never done it. I've always avoided it because you get pushed around so,'' the 71-year-old said, adding that she may have walked the red carpet once with then-husband Mike Todd ``because he wanted to.'' Bureau Report
