Frances Lynn is an English journalist and author.
Early life
Born in St. Mary's Hospital, Paddington in London, Lynn was educated at Malvern Girls' College.
Career
In 1977, Lynn started her journalistic career when she became the film editor and "bitch" gossip columnist for the defunct Ritz Newspaper published by David Bailey (photographer). After her first column appeared in the magazine's second issue, Barry Fantoni wrote: "Frances Lynn (Franny to the few friends she has left) wins my accolades as the bitchiest gossip writer in town" in the defunct Evening News. Lynn was also known for her Ritz Newspaper interviews with celebrities including Tom Hanks, Sammy Davis, Jr., Tony Curtis, Cary Grant, Anthony Perkins, Donald Sutherland, John Hurt, Sally Field, and Robert Altman.
After Nigel Dempster proposed her for the National Union of Journalists in 1981, she became a freelance journalist, working on the Evening Standard's The Londoner's Diary on Fleet Street, and for glossy magazines including Woman's Journal, 19, Harpers and Queen and Tatler. Her favourite top ten film list was included in the book John Kobal "Presents the Top 100 Movies". She wrote Future Shock stories for 2000 AD, and in the early 2000's, wrote a regular golf column for Saga Magazine, the UK's top selling subscriber magazine. "Saga" sent her on a Caribbean cruise on the Saga Rose ship where she gave lectures.
Frances Lynn is a member of the Writers' Guild of Great Britain. In 2006, her two novels: Crushed and Frantic were both published by Eiworth Publishing.
