Sheilah Graham Westbrook Writer

Sheilah Graham Westbrook (15 September 1904 – 17 November 1988) was an English-born American nationally syndicated gossip columnist during Hollywood's "Golden Age", who, with Louella Parsons and Hedda Hopper, wielded power to make or break careers – prompting her to describe herself as "the last of the unholy trio."Graham was also known for her relationship with Scott Fitzgerald'>F. Scott Fitzgerald, which she played a part in immortalising through her autobiographical account of that period, Beloved Infidel, a best-seller made into a film. In her youth, she had been a showgirl, and a freelance writer for Fleet Street, in London and published a few short stories and two novels. These early experiences would converge in a career that spanned nearly four decades as a successful columnist and author.
