Robin Skone-Palmer

Robin Skone-Palmer is originally from Los Angeles. Many of the families of her friends and playmates worked in the film industry so even from a young age, she knew that the "glamour" of show business was mostly in the eye of the beholder. She went to Hollywood High where one of the accepted excuses for an absence was "movie." (Making one, not going to one.)

After college, her first job was at the Hollywood Bowl where she got to meet many professional musicians and celebrities. After that, she joined the Foreign Service and worked in American Embassies in Pretoria, South Africa, and London. What could be more exciting than that?

Then, after returning to L.A., she found out -- she became Phyllis Diller's personal secretary. Wow, glamour! Or maybe not -- maybe just a lot of hard work.

Now, many years and many interesting jobs later, she is retired in Las Vegas where she indulges her love for golf, throwing pottery (no, not at the wall, on the wheel) and teaching after-school Bible clubs. She shares her home with a nucleus of three cats and the occasional stray.
