William D. Pawley, Jr. and his fiancee, 17-year-old Elizabeth Taylor, relaxing poolside in August 1949 at the Miami Beach home of Pawley's father, a former U.S. Ambassador to Peru and Brazil.

(Original Caption) Elizabeth Taylor, the 17-year-old star of MGM studio who skyrocketed to film fame as a child star in such animal epics as National Velvet and Lassie series, is quite a collector of pets herself. One of her pets, a golden cocker named 'Amy' after Liz's role in Little Women is the costar in our series. 'Amy' like any small fry prototype of the human world has a definite allergy to soap & water. Liz, dressed for the chore in blue jeans makes a flying tackle after Amy who tried a fast getaway at the sight of the tub.

Elizabeth Taylor and her stepson Mike Todd, Jr. arrive in Chicago for the funeral of her third husband Mike Todd who died in a plane crash near Grants, New Mexico.
