Chapter 1: The Early Years - Roots of a Star
Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor was born on February 27, 1932, in the quiet London suburb of Hampstead. Her parents, Francis Lenn Taylor and Sara Sothern, were Americans living abroad—a choice that reflected their artistic, bohemian sensibilities. Francis, an art dealer, managed a gallery in London, while Sara, a former stage actress, had stepped away from the spotlight to focus on family life. Both parents, however, retained an artistic flair, nurturing an atmosphere of creativity and ambition. Elizabeth, known as “Liz” to family and friends, grew up surrounded by art and stories, which would ignite her own passion for performance.
In 1939, as the looming shadow of World War II began to darken Europe, the Taylors made the difficult decision to leave England. With little Elizabeth and her older brother, Howard, they returned to the United States, seeking refuge in the stability of their American roots. The family settled in Los Angeles, an environment that would prove fortuitous for the young Elizabeth. With Sara’s background in theater and Francis’s connections in the art world, it wasn’t long before Elizabeth found herself introduced to the inner circles of Hollywood.
