About Francis Lenn Taylor
Francis Taylor was an American art dealer and father of the actress Elizabeth Taylor.
He was born in Springfield, Illinois. The family later moved to Arkansas City, Kansas.
Francis began dealing in art in New York for a wealthy in-law, Howard Young. There he married stage actress Sara Sothern (whose real name was Sara Viola Warmbrodt and was also from Arkansas City) in 1926 in New York.
Within a few years of his marriage, Taylor was transferred to Young's art gallery in London, England, where he and Sara lived several years, and where their children were born. At the outbreak of Britain's involvement in World War II, they returned to the United States.
Taylor later ran an art gallery in Beverly Hills, California.
He died at age 70 in Los Angeles. He is interred beside his widow in Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery, Westwood, California.
