It's well known that Elizabeth Taylor was in the running for the role played by Deborah Kerr in QUO VADIS but she lucked out. They did ask her to do a cameo, which she did and this photo proves it. Unfortunately, it looks like the cameo didn't make it in the final cut as I watched the specific scenes in the photo and there's no Elizabeth during those moments.
I understand that Taylor was visiting the set and played one of the christians being served to the lions.... I don't suppose we will ever find the young Sophia Loren (and her mother) who started her career here as one of the slave girls - it would only take a decade or so for Sophia to be headlining her own epics (El Cid, Fall of the Roman Empire).

I read the same thing about Taylor, that she was honeymooning in Rome with Nick Hilton, visited the set and did the bit part as a lark.
