But, in this film, at age 12, she played the part of a young girl determined to live out her dreams of winning the Grand National Steeplechase. She learned how to ride a horse and after an accident had back problems and addictions to pain killers that would plague her for the rest of her life. Critics and audiences fell in love the young girl who became known as “one shot Liz” because of her ability to do a scene in one take and she was signed to a long time contract with MGM. She would perform through her adolescence, teenage years and adulthood in films produced by the studio and would become considered one of the most beautiful women alive. Costumer supervisor at MGM, Irene [Gibbons], dressed the young actress in simple English schoolgirl/ farm girl clothes of the 1920 and later in equestrian wear. She would continue designing for film at MGM until 1962, when she threw herself out of a window at the Knickerbocker Hotel. Even more famous than her film costume designs were her extremely successful up-scale tailored clothing lines from her own fashion house.
