Elizabeth Taylor On What’s My Line? (1954)

“Well, the reception that was accorded you makes me feel that your face is reasonably familiar to the public.”

Four years before this TV appearance, Elizabeth Taylor, who was essentially raised as a ward of MGM, graduated with the senior class at Hollywood’s University High School: From a 1950 Life magazine: “Between movie scenes for the last eight years Elizabeth Taylor has adjourned to the schoolroom on the M-G-M lot to keep up with her schoolwork. Last week, after a final year of studying (civics, English literature, ceramics and Senior problems), Elizabeth joined the senior class of Hollywood’s University High School to get her diploma. The 17-year-old actress (18, Feb. 27) finished with a B-plus average and her teacher rated her ‘a good student, very good in art, with a flair for writing.'”
