Elizabeth Taylor Document Signed - Early MGM Contract Signed at Age 10 DS, one page, 8.25 x 11, December 12, 1942. Early agreement between the ten-year-old Elizabeth Taylor and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, acknowledging receipt of "the notice of the exercise of the option above referred." Nicely signed at the conclusion in fountain pen by Elizabeth Taylor, and countersigned by her parents Francis and Sarah. In fine condition. Taylor had made her screen debut in the Universal Pictures comedy There's One Born Every Minute, which premiered on June 26, 1942. Following that role, her father's friend, MGM producer Samuel Marx, arranged for her to audition for a minor part in Lassie Come Home (1943), which required a child actress with an English accent. After a trial contract of three months, she was given a standard seven-year contract in January 1943. She would be cast in her first starring role at the age of 12, when she was chosen to play the lead in National Velvet (1944). Taylor's adolescence was largely controlled and cultivated by the studio, which transformed her into one of Hollywood's greatest stars.
