Elizabeth Taylor:
I was 10 years old when I first came to MGM - and I spent most of the next 18 years of my life behind the walls of that studio. As a young girl growing up, in that strange place, its hard to recall what was real and what wasn't. Perhaps my most vivid memories were of MGM musicals. Just to stand there on the set and watch the singing and the dancing, it was like a fantasy come true. Total innocence. Loveliness.
