Marilyn Murray Willison began her journalism career in the sixth
grade when she wrote and mimeographed her summer school newsletter.
By
the time she was in high school, she was a page editor of her weekly
school publication. At UCLA, she contributed book reviews to the
university's daily newspaper. The author of five non-fiction
books, Willison worked as health and fitness editor at the Los Angeles
Times Syndicate, and wrote book reviews, health, beauty, fashion, and
travel articles on a regular basis for the Los Angeles Times. Her
byline has appeared in a wide variety of American newspapers and
magazines.
In the late 1980's, Willison and her two
sons (B.G. and Geoffrey) moved to London where her Fleet St. responsibilities included
covering Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew's royal wedding.
Willison's newspaper and magazine interviews and profiles of celebrities
have included: Jackie and Joan Collins, Placido Domingo, Kirk Douglas,
Audrey Hepburn, Heather Locklear, Paul McCartney, and Jane Seymour.
Her articles have appeared in a variety of British magazines and
newspapers, including: Marie Claire, Women's Journal, The Daily Mail,
The Express, The London Sunday Times, and The Sunday Mirror Magazine.
Since returning to the United States, Willison has continued to
contribute to American magazines and newspapers. Her byline
appears regularly in the Florida Home and Accent sections of the Palm
Beach Post. In her spare time, she helps aspiring authors organize
and polish their manuscripts.
Willison and her
husband, Tony Fragiacomo, live in West Palm Beach, Florida.
