Elizabeth Taylor by Karsch
"Elizabeth Taylor 1946
She was fourteen years old, a charming and unassuming child, who had captivated the world in National Velvet . She was totally engrossed with her pet chipmunk and cat, the newest additions to her extensive home menagerie. I named the cat Michael. The next day she called to me from an open car on the M.G.M. lot and held up her newest feline friend. 'Look who I have with me,' she cried triumphantly, 'Michael Karsh Taylor!' This photograph is a sultry harbinger of the great beauty she was to become, and still is."
