47. Elizabeth’s starting point.
There was no one like Elizabeth Taylor. Her looks and talent were ones that are still admired to this day. But believe it or not, her mother initially didn’t want her to act. She later agreed and was signed by Universal Pictures in 1941 when she was only nine years old. Her first role was in the film “There’s One Born Every Minute,” although it was a small role, it was the beginning of a successful career. What was even more baffling is that producers thought she looked too old and mature for a 9-year-old, so the significant role that would launch her into stardom had to wait three more years.
