Linda Alexander's newest book, "Reluctant Witness: Robert Taylor, Hollywood, & Communism," the biography of Hollywood's Golden Era movie star, Robert Taylor, debuted in May of 2008. Taylor starred with all the leading ladies of his era, including Greta Garbo in "Camille," Vivien Leigh in "Waterloo Bridge," and Deborah Kerr in "Quo Vadis." His involvement in the 1940s hysteria over communism in Hollywood forever branded him the ultra-conservative movie star to "name names." Linda's book finally sets the record straight.

Linda has published 4 other books - 2 biographies: "The Unpromised Land" and "Dorothy From Kansas Meets the Wizard of X," and 2 novels of dark romantic suspense: "Weekends In New England" & "Until Next Time." "Until Next Time" has been re-contracted and a revised version will be released this winter under a new title.

A 1991 letter on psychological child abuse put Linda on the Oprah Show as a Featured Guest. She has freelanced for magazines such as "Spotlight" and "Soap Opera Update," and newspapers including "The Washington Times," "Frederick News Post," and "Baton Rouge Advocate." She has interviewed actors Jim Varney, Robert Stack, Michael Zaslow, and her teenage heartthrob, Michael Cole, from 1970s "The Mod Squad." Also, singers Gary Puckett, Tiny Tim, and many others. An editor from a prominent publisher said about Linda's writing, "I felt . . . I was sitting in on a Barbara Walters interview."

Linda does speaking engagements on: Living Large With Lupus; Journaling To Heal Wounds; Bridging The Color Line; You Are Who You Say You Are: Online Imaging; writing, and, of course, Robert Taylor!

Entertainment > Celebrity Biographies Biography: Taylor Hicks

1 of 1

This article was written in 2007.

Taylor Hicks is all about the music. About the emotion from which the music arises. For the 2006 winner of Fox TV's wildly popular "American Idol," a bit of a current version of the "Ted Mack Amateur Hour," everything else in Hicks' life is little more than fluff. He doesn't seem taken with himself, nor does he spend much time thinking about his newfound fame. It also appears that he doesn't suffer fools well, and dismisses the hoopla surrounding the "American Idol" hysteria. He doesn't knock it, but for him, it was a means to an end, not the "Big Deal."
