Robert Westbrook
Robert T. Westbrook (born 1945) is an American writer. He was born to columnist Sheilah Graham Westbrook five years after the death of her lover F. Scott Fitzgerald. There is some question as to Robert’s biological father, who Graham claimed was Trevor Westbrook, a British businessman she divorced in 1946. However, after Graham’s death in 1988, the British philosopher A.J. Ayer came forward to say he was the father of Robert’s older half-sister Wendy and that Robert’s biological father was most likely the Hollywood actor Robert Taylor. From his earliest recollection, Robert Westbrook always wanted to be a writer. Raised in Los Angeles until his teen years, his mother then moved Robert and Wendy to New York City. Robert attended the progressive Putney School in Vermont and Columbia College in New York.
==Early career==
After a summer trip to the Soviet Union he wrote his first book at age 17, ''Journey Behind the Iron Curtain'', published in 1963 by G.P. Putnam's Sons. The wild years at Columbia University in the 1960s helped inspire his first novel, ''The Magic Garden of Stanley Sweetheart'', published by Crown in 1970. The novel became an MGM film that introduced an 18-year-old actor named Don Johnson in the title role. The film was praised by Andy Warhol for its depiction of the New York counter culture scene of the late 1960s. Robert Westbrook did not write again for 15 years.
