Who is Robert Westbrook?

Robert T. Westbrook 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.
