Synopsis
Born Lily Sheil in 1904, the daughter of Jewish Ukranian immigrants, SHEILAH GRAHAM was raised in a London orphanage. She emigrated to New York in 1933 and to Hollywood two years later. In 1964, Time magazine reported that Graham had “deposed Hopper and Parsons as doyenne of the Hollywood columnists.’’ She had her own radio and television programs and wrote several books. In 1959, Beloved Infidel , a bestselling memoir of her affair with F. Scott Fitzgerald, became a film starring Gregory Peck and Deborah Kerr. Graham died in 1988. WENDY FAIREY , Sheilah Graham's daughter, teaches English literature and creative writing at Brooklyn College. She is the author of One of the Family , a memoir, and Full House , a collection of linked stories.
