William D. Pawley Jr., 92, a decorated pilot in World War II is often called the first true love, actress Elizabeth Taylor, died July 10 in Florida, his family announced. The cause was not determined.
Pawley, a resident of Pembroke Pines, Florida, was the son of the U.S. ambassador to Brazil and Peru, Mr. William Pawley
He was born June 21, 1920, in Atlanta, Georgia, but grew up in a mansion in Miami Beach from their rich parents. This is where the then 28-year-old veteran of the Army Air Forces began an affair with the actress, then 17 years old.
They met during a visit to Miami for Taylor and his mother in early 1949.
Even if Taylor had been linked with the former football star Glenn Davis in a love story, designed by his mother and his studio, his relation with Pawley was true. But not for long.
The couple announced their engagement in June 1949, but the fall had become the diamond ring given him.
Friends said Taylor is expected to reduce Pawley his career as an actress, once married. The following year she married Nicky Hilton in the first of his eight trips to the altar.
The novel is detailed in more than 60 love letters Taylor wrote Pawley, who has maintained for decades. They were auctioned after his death last year.
