The full name on his birth certificate is Edward Joel Stone Pawley, however, he never used the Stone name. It derived from a Stone family in Illinois.

At maturity, Pawley was 5'-10" tall with thick black hair and blue eyes. While in high school, he became interested in both journalism and acting. Acting won out after taking drama classes and appearing in high school plays. After moving to New York City in 1920 to pursue a career in the theater, he married (in 1922) his high school sweetheart, Martina May Martin, who had become a professional stage actress. They had one child, a son named Martin Herbert Pawley (b. 1923). Edward and Martina later divorced only to remarry and divorce again. In 1937, he married the then popular Broadway singer, dancer and actress Helen Shipman. They remained married for 47 years until her death on April 13, 1984.
