Elizabeth Taylor This violet-eyed beauty was born in London, on February 27, 1932.Her father, Francis Taylor was an art dealer and mother, Sara, was an actress, but later gave it up when she married. At age ten, her family moved to Hollywood, where her captivating beauty would later be discovered. A family friend suggested that she would follow her mother’s footsteps, and take up the film industry. In 1941, she signed contract with Universal Pictures, but later decided to obtain a contract with MGM studios. Her first movie was, Lassie Come Home, after this role, offers for movies came from everyone. This is where her childhood ended and her profession began. Taylor later suggested that she wished she had a normal childhood like the rest of the world. She told the magazine, Good Housekeeping, “After the age ten, I didn’t have a childhood. I didn’t date. I had no friends except for other child actors at MGM. I rode horses and acted.” This devotion that she had would later help her receive other roles in the future.
