11 JOW much private life does a film star 1 -*■ have ? That depends on many things— including the film star. When they have done everything the studio asks of them, from being photographed with a foreign visitor to making appearances with a film they have just made, do they go to their homes and relax ? They do—as far as possible. And the photographs of the stars at home and the stars and their children seen in these pages show you some of them officially “ off duty.” Elizabeth Taylor has been in the limelight since the time she made National Velvet back in 1944. Since she married Michael Wilding in February 1952 their happiness has been crowned by the birth of a son, who has also been named Michael, on January 6th, 1953. Elizabeth Taylor’s last film before she had her baby was The Girl Who Had Everything, and after it she made Elephant Walk. At the top of the page you can see Esther Williams and her husband, Ben Gage, with two of their children. They were married in November, 1945, and they honeymooned in Mexico, when she was making Fiesta. Los Angeles bom, Esther came by her love of swimming naturally. Her first film role was in Andy Hardy's Double Life, and her fame was made. She was recently seen in Dangerous When Wet.
