Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born in London, England on February
27, 1932. Although she was born an English subject, her parents
were American who were art dealers from St. Louis, Missouri. Her
father had gone to London to set up a gallery. Her mother had been
an actress on the stage, but gave up that vocation when she
married. Elizabeth lived in London for the first seven years of her
life before the family left when the dark clouds of war began
brewing in 1939. The family sailed without her father who stayed
behind to wrap up the loose ends of the art business. The family
relocated to Los Angeles, California where Mrs. Taylor's own family
had moved. Mr. Taylor followed not long afterward. A family friend
noticed the beautiful little Elizabeth and suggested that she be
taken for a screen test. She passed and was signed to a contract
with Universal Studios. Her first foray onto the silver screen was
in the film, called a short, _There's One Born Every Minute (1942)_
(qv) released in 1942 when she was ten. Universal let the contract
drop after the one film and Elizabeth was picked up by MGM. The
first production she made with them was _Lassie Come Home (1943)_
(qv) (1943). On the strength of that one film, MGM signed her to a
full year. Her next two films were minuscule parts in 1944, _White
Cliffs of Dover, The (1944)_ (qv) and _Jane Eyre (1944)_ (qv). The
former was made while she was on loan to Fox Studios. Then came the
film that made Elizabeth a star, MGM's _National Velvet (1944)_
(qv) in 1944. She played Velvet Brown opposite 'Mickey Rooney'
(qv). The film was a smash hit grossing over $4 million. Now she
had a long term contract with MGM and was their top child star.
With no films in 1945, she returned in 1946 in _Courage Of Lassie
(1946)_ (qv). In 1947, when she was 15, Elizabeth starred in _Life
