After signing a seven-year contract with MGM for $35 a week, Brugh's name was changed to Robert Taylor. He made his film debut in the 1934 comedy, Handy Andy, opposite Will Rogers. After appearing in a few small roles, he appeared in one of his first leading roles in Magnificent Obsession, with Irene Dunne. This was followed by Camille (1936), opposite Greta Garbo. Throughout the late 1930s, Taylor appeared in films of varying genres including the musical Broadway Melody of 1938 (1937), and the British comedy A Yank at Oxford (1938) with Vivien Leigh. In 1940, he reteamed with his A Yank at Oxford co-star Vivien Leigh in Mervyn LeRoy's drama Waterloo Bridge. In 1941, Taylor began breaking away from his perfect leading man image and began appearing in darker roles. That year he portrayed Billy Bonney (better known as Billy the Kid) in Billy the Kid. The next year, he played the title role in the film noir Johnny Eager opposite Lana Turner. In 1943, Taylor contributed to the war effort by becoming a flying instructor in Naval Air Corps. During this time, he also starred in instructional films and narrated the 1944 documentary The Fighting Lady.[3] In 1951, Taylor landed the role of General Marcus Vinicius in Quo Vadis (1951), opposite Deborah Kerr. The film was a hit, grossing USD$11 million.[5] The following year, he starred opposite Elizabeth Taylor in the film version of Walter Scott’s classic Ivanhoe, followed by 1953's Knights of the Round Table.
