Elizabeth Taylor is considered one of the best British-American actresses in the history of show business. Born on February 27th, 1932, in England, "Liz" started training in ballet at the age of three. Her parents, both from North Carolina, returned with Elizabeth Taylor from England when World War Two began. They moved to California, which, combined with her mother's own former acting career, aided Elizabeth Taylor in being signed by Universal Pictures for whom she played a role in her first movie at the age of only nine. Her second movie in 1943, "Lassie Come Home" is where Elizabeth Taylor gained real attention and she achieved child star status in her first lead role as Velvet Brown in "National Velvet" in 1944.
