LOS ANGELES - In newly revealed love letters, a 17-year-old Elizabeth Taylor shared her dreams with her fiance before later agonizing about returning an engagement ring when the relationship soured.
The handwritten letters are from 1949, when Taylor was engaged to William Pawley Jr, who was in his 20s and the son of a wealthy US businessman and ambassador.
Taylor, who died last week aged 79, was already a famous Hollywood actress at the time, having starred in the 1944 movie National Velvet.
