DS, signed “Mrs. Michael Wilding,” three pages, 8.5 x 11, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures letterhead, February 16, 1953. Contract regarding maternal leave compensation due to the birth of her son Michael, in part: “By reason of the birth of your child January 6, 1953, the ‘first reduced compensation period’ provided for in paragraph 29 of your contract of employment with us dated April 18, 1952 would normally have terminated. However, you did not report back to us on the expiration of said period of (4) weeks as required and you have advised us that the condition of your health did not and does not yet permit you to do so.” Signed at the conclusion in blue ballpoint, with Taylor adding her initials, “E.T.,” to the first and second pages. In very good to fine condition, with staple holes and light stains to the top of each page. A decidedly uncommon version of Taylor's signature.
