In newly revealed love letters, a 17 year-old Elizabeth Taylor shared her dreams with her fiancé.
The letters were written in 1949, when Taylor was engaged to William Pawley Jr, who was in his 20s and the son of a wealthy American businessman and ambassador.

Taylor expressed her love for Pawley and wrote in one of the letters that she had never thought of being in love with such intensity. She wrote to Pawley that if their engagement had broken, she could not love again.
Taylor, who died last week aged 79, was already a famous Hollywood actress at the time, having starred in the 1944 movie, National Velvet.
The correspondence, which New Hampshire-based RR Auction is selling in May, opens a window to Taylor s view of life and love before she was to be married and divorced eight times throughout her life.
