Philippa Pullar

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Philipa Pullar (12 February 1935, in London - 7 September 1997 in London) was a British author and jet set personality best remembered for her exhaustively-researched 1975 biography of Irish-American author Frank Harris. The biography involved great amounts of traveling and research, not least because Harris had intricately woven fact and fiction in his famous five-volume autobiography, My Life and Loves.

In later years Pullar became known as a devotee of New Age thought, and prior to her death from cancer advocated various methods of natural and alternative healing.

After her death she appeared as a major character in Michael Holroyd's memoir Mosaic, which contained a chapter about his relationship with the "numinous" Pullar.
