Glenn Davis: A First Love Away From the Cameras
Before contracts, premieres, and studio-arranged photo calls took over her life, a teenage Elizabeth Taylor fell for Glenn Davis, a fellow student she met at University High School in Los Angeles. He had no connection to MGM and no interest in the machinery of fame, which made him unusual among the men she would later date.
Their courtship looked like any other teenage romance of the era: notes passed between classes, awkward school dances, long phone calls that stretched past curfew. For a brief window, Taylor got to be an ordinary girl with an ordinary crush, something the rest of her life rarely allowed her.
