What age was Elizabeth Taylor when she was cast in her first starring role in "National Velvet"?

Player #96919, I saw her in Butterfield 8, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, A Place in the Sun, & Suddenly Last Summer, all MANY years ago. She was always gorgeous.

she was one of the world's beauty icons of the film industry

stashio2020, I just saw it for the first time a couple weeks ago. Loved it.

stashio2020, I did see it and I agree with you.

Player #96919, she had a double set of eye lashes and real violet eyes. I thought they were colored contact lenses. I was wrong, they were real!! Iam going to Google to see what happened to that huge diamond, Richard Burton bought her. Remember that??
