Partly-printed DS filled out and signed three times by 10-year-old Elizabeth Taylor, once as “Elizabeth Rosemond Taylor" and twice as "Elizabeth Taylor,” four pages, 8.5 x 11, December 9, 1942. A Motion Picture Industry employee questionnaire filled out in black ink entirely in the hand of the young actress, who adds her full given name at the start, her professional name on line four, and then adds her signature neatly to the conclusion. The child star answers fields like address, social security number, age (10), birth date, birthplace (London, England), gender, ethnicity, height (4´ 7″), weight (73), hair color, eye color, scars or physical defects, and marital status, before answering citizenship questions, stating the birthplace of her father (Illinois) and her mother (Kansas), and whether or not she’s ever lived abroad (“Yes, From Birth to 1939, London England”). In an additional information section at the end, another hand has affirmed her British birth through the American Consular Service. In very good to fine condition, with overall creasing, and a stain to the upper right corner of the first page. Accompanied by a full letter of authenticity from JSA.
