How on EARTH did this find its way to Elizabeth Taylor?

Secret Ceremony is an Argentinian novel by this Argentinian author I've never even heard. It's been adapted before in Argentina but this is basically unknown outside that country. How on Earth did it make it to the most famous person in the world at the time?? It's as unlikely a story as there is.

I know this post was years ago, but responding for posterity: almost certainly a producer based in the US or UK who was familiar with the material in one way or another decided to put an adaptation into production and submitted the script to various talent agencies, who would then pitch the script to appropriate actors they represented.
