MOVIES - Oct. 28, 1987

Hold on to your hats, Liz fans: Elizabeth Taylor has actually begun work on her first big-screen film in seven years. She co-stars in Franco Zeffirelli’s “The Young Toscanini,” and plays a Russian soprano with whom the young conductor fell passionately in love. Filming started in the southern Italian city of Bari on Monday with American actor C. Thomas Howell playing Toscanini. American soprano Aprille Millo will supply the character’s singing voice. Taylor, whose last major motion picture was “The Mirror Crack’d” in 1980, has appeared recently in television films and starred in a Broadway production of “The Little Foxes,” which also played in Los Angeles.
