ELIZABETH TAYLOR - PRIME MINISTER TOLD TAYLOR'S DAD TO GET OUT OF ENGLAND

ELIZABETH TAYLOR's parents were "sent packing" from their adopted England when Prime Minister NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN told the actress' father he'd be safer back home. The movie icon was born in London, where her father owned an art gallery, and spent 18 years there, until the family returned to America to avoid World War Two. And Taylor reveals it was England's Prime Minister who suggested it was time for the Taylors to go. She recalls, "Chamberlain spoke to my father. He knew all of the elite people in government, and Chamberlain said, 'Francis, you'd better take your family back to America.'" The actress, who became known as "the little refugee" when she first started working in Hollywood, admits she will always be fond of the memories from her English upbringing. Taylor adds, "We had an idyllic life there - a house in the country, I had a pony, I went to the same ballet school where the little princesses went."
