Unlike most child stars, Taylor transitioned easily to adult roles after successful teenage turns in the likes of Mervyn LeRoy’s 1949 adaptation of Little Women, and the following year’s Father of the Bride, where Spencer Tracy gave her away before director Vincente Minnelli’s camera. The defining moment was 1951’s A Place in the Sun,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where Taylor’s debutante, Angela Vickers, so transfixes Montgomery Clift’s George Eastman, that the young man falls into tragedy in trying to put aside his pregnant girlfriend.
The next decade would be Taylor’s golden era. She was the most famous woman in the world, but her best worked was more than equal to the glitz and nascent paparazzi that trailed in her wake. She was married four times in the fifties, to hotel heir Nicky Hilton, English actor Michael Wilding, Michael Todd (who perished in a plane crash, widowing Taylor),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and singer Eddie Fisher, but more importantly she starred in Giant (opposite James Dean),[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Raintree County,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], alongside Paul Newman in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and 1960’s Butterfield 8, for which she won her first Oscar as a morally ambiguous Manhattan model.
