This article continues that Elizabeth Taylor "became an actress because a film-producer friend of her father, struck by her unusual dark beauty and needing a young girl with a British accent for a Lassie film, offered her a contract."  They are here referring to her 1943 film ''Lassie Come Home'' with [[Roddy McDowall]], in which Elizabeth played Priscilla the daughter of the Duke of Rudling.  She rocketed to fame the following year, at age 11, in her starring role in the 1944 film ''National Velvet''.
